Missouri Housing Summit: Developing Supportive Housing

 

The deadline to register for this event has passed. Thank you everyone who has registered--we're looking forward to seeing you there!

The Missouri Housing Summit is a two-day conference in Jefferson City, Missouri, on September 7-8, 2011, sponsored and facilitated by the Missouri Department of Mental Health Housing Unit and the Community Initiatives staff of the Missouri Housing Development Commission. Funding comes from the Missouri DMH Transformation Grant. The Housing Summit will be a hands-on series of workshops and discussions that will help agencies seeking to connect with the planning, development and management resources and knowledge they need to develop and operate much-needed bricks-and-mortor supportive housing for people with special needs and disabilities. Missouri State Treasurer Clint Zweifel will make the opening remarks.

Who Should Attend

Housing developers, disability and mental health service providers, community development corporations (CDCs), community housing development organizations (CHDOs), and non-profits interested in developing housing.
