2023  Southern Conference on Homelessness and Housing (SCHH)

 The 2023 Southern Conference on Homelessness and Housing (SCHH), to be held October 25-27, 2023 (Sandestin, Florida), is an opportunity for housing developers, homeless program managers, case managers, homeless advocates, state and local government representatives, providers of public and mental health services, and people with lived experience to come together to address the ongoing issues of poverty and the lack of safe, decent, and affordable housing in our region. With your support, this conference will provide educational and training opportunities designed to improve housing and social service options for vulnerable individuals, including persons experiencing homelessness, the aging population, youth, veterans, LGBTQIA+, survivors of domestic violence and/or sexual assault, persons living with HIV/AIDS, persons with disabilities, and consumers with mental illness.   

 This year’s theme is “Transforming Communities: Building Inclusive and Sustainable Housing Solutions.” We will explore sustainable, inclusive communities and discuss how quality affordable housing can be sustainable in the South. Together service providers, system leaders, advocates, and people with lived experience of homelessness will learn from each other, discuss best practices, and share innovations in the field.
