Date Published: 
July 7th, 2022

CLPHA was thrilled to welcome members back to our first in-person gathering since October 2019 at the Summer Member Meeting in Washington, DC on June 23-24, 2022. Members were excited to see fellow colleagues, chat between sessions, and mingle at CLPHA’s Member Meeting reception, a highly regarded event among public housing industry professionals. To ensure the safety of staff and members, CLPHA required all attendees to take a COVID test and show a negative result before attending the conference, as well as show proof of COVID-19 vaccination and wear masks in the event space when not eating, drinking, or presenting. Many attendees appreciated CLPHA’s commitment to public health measures.

The line-up of featured speakers included members of Congress and administration officials, as well as PHA leaders who shared their innovative efforts to recapitalize their housing portfolios and create climate-resilient affordable housing.
