CLPHA's 2020 Housing Is Summit
Washington, D.C.
It’s time to register for the Council of Large Public Housing Authorities' 6th annual Housing Is Summit, the preeminent event dedicated to collaboration among the housing, education, and health sectors.

Whether you're a Summit veteran or considering attending for the first time, the sixth annual Summit is an event you won't want to miss!
Early Bird Registration Prices end January 17, 2020
We look forward to welcoming you to the 2020 Housing Is Summit. We offer two days in Washington, D.C., packed full of insightful keynote speakers, multi-sector plenary discussions, and interactive breakout session tracks targeting the intersections among the housing, health, and education sectors. We tailor all content to be both inspiring and practical, allowing for time to network with peers across the country, ask questions of national experts, and help develop your ideas for the future.
Why attend the 2020 Housing Is Summit:
- You cannot beat the learning at this conference. The Summit is an invaluable opportunity to learn about other sectors from leaders on the front lines who build and sustain cross-sector partnerships from the ground up.
- We focus on actionable success. This is not a conference where we just talk about cross-sector collaboration, we focus on practical applications of theoretical frameworks, funding models, and research methods.
- You will return with fresh ideas to accelerate your vision. We always encourage attendees to invite partners from other sectors to attend the Summit with them since these two days of off-site time can give your partnerships new momentum and a host of new ideas to consider.
- Find and re-connect with other leaders across the country. Especially with cross-sector work, it is useful to know others who understand the challenges you face and can offer their informed perspective. The Summit offers uniquely intimate networking opportunities, and past attendees have made connections that turned into programs and initiatives in their communities.

This year, we are pleased to offer four breakout session tracks to allow attendees to focus on one track or learn from a variety of perspectives by creating a custom schedule. All breakout sessions are scheduled to be 75 minutes each to allow for both insightful presentations and substantive discussion.
- Partnership Development
- Housing Is Education
- Housing is Health & Healthcare
- Peer Learning and Networking -- new!
Included in each of these tracks will be sessions with particular emphasis on themes such as data sharing/collaboration, in-depth case study analysis, and workshops on current policies.

We have secured a special attendee room rate of $269 per night (plus taxes and fees) for the nights of Tuesday, April 28 through Saturday, May 2, which is available to guests who make a reservation using this link or calling Marriott at (877) 212-5752 and mentioning that you're part of CLPHA's room block. There are a limited number of rooms available at this rate. CLPHA's discounted rate expires April 1, 2020. No exceptions will be made for reservations booked after the cut-off date.

The Housing Is Initiative, led by the Council of Large Public Housing Authorities, helps build a future where systems work together to improve life outcomes.
Fragmented service delivery systems and sioed policymaking often fail to address the needs of low-income individuals and families holistically, resulting in stagnant outcomes and costly inefficiencies. CLPHA’s Housing Is Initiative is based on the premise that systems can better meet these needs and improve life outcomes when they work together.
