WE’RE EXCITED FOR HFPC 2026!

Join us next spring for a dynamic three-day conference and pre-conference institutes, bringing together professionals, researchers, policymakers, advocates, and people with lived experience—all united by a shared commitment to evidence-based solutions to homelessness.

HFPC 2026 comes at a pivotal moment. Across the country, the Housing First approach faces growing political challenges and scrutiny, despite decades of proven success. This conference embodies our collective resolve to confront these challenges by reaffirming the core principles of Housing First, elevating innovative solutions, and highlighting the life-changing impacts of housing as a human right.

HFPC 2026 will focus on strengthening and sustaining Housing First as a cornerstone of effective, person-centered care—particularly as communities face mounting pressures to abandon proven strategies. We’ll explore the vital connections between Housing First and behavioral health, physical health, harm reduction, and crisis response, showcasing integrated, trauma-informed approaches to the most complex challenges in homelessness. Together, we’ll strategize ways to sustain and expand Housing First programs amid shifting policies, tightening resources, and increasing pressure to revert to less effective models.

HFPC 2026 will offer:

✅Actionable Insights: Engage in in-depth workshops and sessions designed to strengthen Housing First implementation, drive systemic change, and navigate political and structural challenges.

✅Collaboration and Inspiration: Hear from thought-provoking keynote speakers and expert panels as they explore the challenges of implementing and sustaining Housing First, while reinforcing its proven success in ending homelessness. Gain valuable insights into comprehensive housing solutions and the critical factors driving homelessness today.

✅Community and Healing: Opportunities connect with peers, share diverse experiences, and build meaningful partnerships in a supportive and energizing environment.

At its core, HFPC honors the resilience, determination, and humanity of those most impacted by Housing First. It celebrates the thousands who have already chartered their own recovery from homelessness and reclaimed stability and hope through housing and support, while recognizing the critical need to extend these opportunities to many more individuals and families.

In a time when stigma and misconceptions threaten to overshadow evidence and compassion, HFPC 2026 is your opportunity to reaffirm our shared mission, energize your work, and shape the future of Housing First. Together, we can ensure that housing remains the foundation for dignity, safety, and stability for all.

This conference will bring together a diverse community of attendees, including healthcare professionals, peer specialists, addiction counselors, social workers, researchers, policymakers, funders, housing providers, property managers, business leaders, faith communities, students, and many others—whether seasoned in Housing First or just beginning their journey.

Stay tuned for more information—this is a conference you won’t want to miss!
