Housing California 2022 Annual Conference | Housing California | 4 April 2022 | SAFE Credit Union Convention Center, 1400 J St, Sacramento, CA 95814, USA

Imagine a California where all of us can live in thriving, diverse communities where residents prosper within an inclusive, supportive housing system that provides access to health care, quality schools, and the freedom to create our best lives for ourselves and our families. Let’s visualize this dream together and strategize on ways to make it reality.

Housing California is excited to announce the dates for next year’s conference where we will collaborate on ways to center racial justice in our work, shape a new housing justice narrative, and build collective power to manifest a better future for all Californians, especially those struggling the most.
Our Annual Conference will embrace the vision and goals of California’s Roadmap Home 2030 and reflect Housing California’s focus on creating systems changes and structural reforms essential to realize the California Dream with homes, health, and wealth for all in thriving, sustainable communities.

The health and safety of conference attendees is our top priority. We will include COVID safety measures based on the most up-to-date local, state, and federal guidance, and we will share details on these measures as we get closer to the event.
