This year's theme is:
Meeting the Moment: Navigating Challenges, Creating Opportunities
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.
Thank you, our Call for Proposals is now closed. If you submitted a proposal, you will be notified in next six-eight weeks if your proposal has been selected.

- Sustaining existing supportive housing projects,
- Increasing the supply of supportive housing, and improving access to housing,
- Promoting economic security and mobility for people in supportive housing by advocating to increase the availability of employment supports and other income support resources, living wage jobs, and peer support,
