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. You can view here.

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.
