The State of Homelessness

& Affordable Housing

Monday, November 18th, 2024

On November 18th the Washtenaw Housing Alliance hosted its annual breakfast and keynote program in recognition of National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week (HHAW) November 17th through the 23rd. Find the list of all the local events happening in our area during this week. For a plain text version of events calendar click here. For a plain text version of calls to action click here.

We were joined by keynote speaker Christine Haley, Chief of the Illinois Office to Prevent and End Homelessness, who talked about her work with 16 state agencies to implement a strategic plan to prevent and end homelessness for Illinois residents.

Thanks to our sponsors, the event was free and open to the public. We are grateful to all who were able to join us in-person at the event. If you could not join us that day, no worries! The full event was recorded. Once the recording is available we will share it here along with all speaker presentation slides.

Our State of Homelessness & Affordable Housing annual events include a full program from sharing data and information about the state of homelessness and affordable housing in Washtenaw County, panel presentations by subject-matter experts, to sharing storytelling and videos. Last year, we hosted speakers presenting about what the State of Michigan’s plans are on housing and homelessness to what’s happening with winter sheltering in Washtenaw County. In 2022, our first in-person event since the start of the pandemic, our event theme and speakers centered on health and housing.

Keynote speaker at this year’s event will be Christine Haley, Chief of the Illinois Office to Prevent and End Homelessness
