We are pleased to share our agenda for CLPHA's 2020 Fall Virtual Membership Meeting!
CLPHA’s Fall Meeting is not only virtual this year, but also it is broken into shorter sessions over four days. What will not be changing is the dynamic agenda of roundtables and panels you have come to expect from a CLPHA meeting where you will hear from Washington policymakers, Members of Congress, leading researchers and PHA leaders.
In addition to postgame thoughts and analysis of what the 2020 Election means for public and affordable housing, we will be discussing the centrality of housing to vital issues such as racial justice, education, health care and technology.
