On behalf of the Vermont Statewide Housing Conference Planning Committee, VHFA is seeking proposals for sessions at the 2022 Statewide Housing Conference, to be held on Wednesday, November 16 in Burlington. For decades, this biennial conference has brought together practitioners, community members and policy leaders to nurture connection and innovation.
This year’s conference theme is “What YOU can do to solve the housing crisis.” The conference planning committee is inviting the housing community to submit proposals for sessions at the conference that speak to this theme. If you have an idea for a session you would like to facilitate at this year's conference, please submit a brief description of the session and answer a few questions about it by completing the short web-based form.
Conference organizers hope to offer a wide range of session formats, including non-traditional approaches that make build off of the conference’s in-person nature and make creative use of technology and other mediums to engage attendees. Here are a few session topic examples:
- Voices of Vermonters with lived experiences that reflect the diversity of our state
- Ways to combat the housing crisis through direct local levers and partnerships
- Systems for turning ideas and inspiration into personal action
- Impact on affordability and CO2 emissions of municipal housing development requirements
Proposals will be accepted through June 30, 2022. Please direct any questions to [email protected].
