About the New England Housing Network:
The New England Housing Network is a coalition of affordable housing and community development organizations from the six New England states. The Network works on joint activities to preserve and expand the supply of affordable housing in New England.

About the Conference:
What can we expect from the Administration and Congress with respect to housing policy and funding this term? How can we use the tools we have to confront problems such as chronic homelessness? Are there innovative ways for us to think about sustainability and health and housing issues? Should we be changing the way we talk about housing needs to our national and local officials and the press? These are some of the questions we will confront at the 2014 New England Housing Network conference.

Join housing advocates, developers, housing authorities, government officials, tenants, lenders, service providers, attorneys, and many others involved in the creation, management, and preservation of affordable housing from all six New England states for a one-day conference dealing with issues critical to our region. Conference participants will hear the latest information from national and local experts, and share innovative ideas on affordable housing and community development initiatives.

Our day will include plenary sessions featuring an overview of federal budget and legislative concerns, chronic homelessness, and messaging; a lunch plenary featuring Medicaid Officials from all six New England states; a choice of a specialized workshop; and the opportunity to engage with advocates across our six state region.
