Unlocking Solutions, Changing the Landscape

We invite you to submit a conference workshop proposal for the Housing Alliance of Pennsylvania's 19th annual Homes Within Reach conference. This year's theme is, "Unlocking Solutions, Changing the Landscape" and workshop submissions should reflect that theme. The conference will be held at the Hershey Lodge in Hershey, PA from December 6 through December 8, 2023. 

To support equity, diversity, and inclusion, preference will be given to workshops with racially and ethnically diverse presenters and presenters with lived experience. Limited assistance will be available to support presenters who are residents and/or clients of affordable housing and homelessness assistance programs.

It is preferred for panels to have multiple presenters that will bring different perspectives/experiences. Workshops are limited to four presenters (including a moderator). 

The audience of Homes Within Reach includes housing providers, housing developers, housing assistance programs, homelessness assistance programs, social service providers, legal aid, land banks, housing and redevelopment authorities, consultants, foundations, financial investors, banks, elected officials, legislators, local governments, and housing advocates.
