2024 State of Homelessness Event
On Monday, November 18th between 8-10:30 a.m. the Washtenaw Housing Alliance will host its annual breakfast and keynote program in recognition of National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week.
We will be joined by keynote speaker Christine Haley, Chief of the Illinois Office to Prevent and End Homelessness, who will talk about her work with 16 state agencies to implement a strategic plan to prevent and end homelessness for Illinois residents.
The event will be at Washtenaw Community College’s Morris Lawrence building at 4800 E. Huron River Drive in Ann Arbor. Thanks to our sponsors, this event is free and open to all interested individuals. Registration for the event is now open! Register at SoHAH2024.eventbrite.com.
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.
