CSH SUPPORTIVE HOUSING SUMMIT:
MEETING THE MOMENT: NAVIGATING CHALLENGES, CREATING OPPORTUNITIES
April 23 – April 25, 2025 | Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk
Chicago, IL
We are thrilled to return to Chicago in 2025, the city where it all began. The conference will be held in-person at the Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk, providing a unique opportunity for more than 1,000 attendees from diverse sectors and backgrounds to engage with current challenges, explore new solutions, and shape the future of supportive housing.
Join us as we build on past successes and pave the way for impactful advancements in the years to come.
Supportive housing is an effective intervention, yet the field continues to experience challenges in scaling, preserving, and operating quality supportive housing. We seek session topics for our 2025 conference that tackle these challenges with innovative, practical, and effective solutions, demonstrating supportive housing is a viable and sustainable alternative to institutionalization and housing instability. With the CSH Race Equity Framework guiding our work and that of our partners, we will prioritize proposals that center racial equity.
The CSH Summit sessions address the need to:
- Increase the supply of housing
- Strategies for promoting economic security
- Ways to partner with communities to co-create new approaches that advance racial equity and housing justice
- Approaches to strengthening the supportive housing workforce
Attendees will leave with a toolbox of resources, practical strategies and an expanded network of contacts to help leverage and maximize the impact of their work towards advancing affordable and supportive housing in their communities.
