#CSHSummit19

Over the next few days, 800 leaders in housing, philanthropy, finance, healthcare, child welfare, substance use treatment, education, and community development and planning, are “Connecting the Dots” at the fifth annual CSH Summit in Indianapolis, Indiana. CSH Summit 2019 is all about bringing policymakers and doers together to build and cement partnerships across multiple sectors for the purpose of addressing a number of challenges facing our communities today. Participants are poised to extend the collaborative efforts that have made supportive housing so effective by expanding them beyond the traditional sectors of housing, homelessness and healthcare. #CSHSummit19 is reaching into other community services and sectors to ensure every individual and family needing help gets the proper supports and attention they deserve.

Live from CSH Summit: Award Announced

As #CSHSummit19 began, we learned the 2019 HUD Secretary’s Award for Public-Philanthropic Partnerships has been awarded to the Accelerating Permanent Supportive Housing Initiative, an innovative effort that includes CSH and is designed to address the state of emergency on homelessness facing the City of Los Angeles. The partners in the Initiative – the California Community Foundation (CCF), Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, The Kresge Foundation, Weingart Foundation, CSH, and the City of Los Angeles – have finalized funding commitments for a multi-sector investment to substantially increase the number of supportive housing units throughout the region.

Summit Sponsors Make Connections Happen

CSH is grateful for the generous support of all of our Summit sponsors. They are an integral part of the Summit itself as well as ongoing efforts to build the partnerships that strengthen our communities, and move them from crisis and chaos to resiliency and thriving. The reach of our CSH Summit sponsors extends beyond the conference experience in Indianapolis and touches thousands of decision-makers who shape housing, healthcare, child welfare, justice, education, workforce development, and other important policy areas on the federal, state, and local levels. If you are attending #CSHSummit19 and see one of our sponsors, please say Hello and Thank them for their support.

Our Focus on Equity

Several CSH Summit 2019 sessions have focused on equity and it is a topic on the minds of many of our attendees. CSH is committed to action on equity and we have posted an announcement for the new position of CSH Equity, Inclusion and Diversity Director. This is a two-year fellowship at the Director level designed to assist CSH in further developing and implementing our equity agenda. Interested applicants can find more details about the position here. Equity, and an intentional focus on it, is essential to our broader progress and is prioritized in our new Strategic Plan. This requires us to look inward and externally at our work, and to consider how we can strengthen our approaches and results, and generate greater impact for everyone in the community.
