Solutions for Housing Communications 2019

April 16, 2019

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On April 16, close to 200 housers and communicators who represented organizations from across the nation that do work in housing finance, advocacy and development attended Solutions for Housing Communications at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Representatives from federal and local government, including representatives from Capitol Hill and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development also attended. The convening kicked off with a presentation from David Dworkin on our 2018 “Paycheck to Paycheck” report and database. Plenary sessions featured media experts who spoke on what makes a good story and housing policy and communications experts who spoke on how to advocate for bipartisan support.

We truly appreciate the stellar lineup of speakers who took time to share their expertise. We also want to give a special thank you to our 2019 sponsors: Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Ocwen!
