202 Florida Housing Coalition Conference: Session Handouts Now Available!

The 2024 Florida Housing Coalition Statewide Affordable Housing Conference was an incredible success, bringing together nearly 1,300 participants from across the state to exchange ideas, network, and discover innovative solutions for housing Floridians. From insightful keynote addresses to lively breakout sessions, attendees had the opportunity to hear from leading voices in affordable housing, explore cutting-edge strategies, and connect with peers who share a common vision of building stronger housing ecosystems.

For those who attended or followed along via the live stream—which reached over 2,000 viewers—session handouts are now available for download. These handouts offer valuable insights, actionable takeaways, and further details on the key topics discussed during the conference, making them an essential resource for anyone committed to affordable housing. Whether you participated in-person or want to revisit specific sessions, you can access all the materials on our website.

Be sure to explore the session handouts and keep an eye out for more content, including photos and video replays, which will be available by September 13. We encourage everyone to continue the conversation by completing the post-conference evaluation to help us make future events even better.
