This year’s conference honors the people who built this movement, and the people continuing to carry it forward. For generations, survivors, advocates, organizers, and community members have created safety, support, and change together. Their lived experience, knowledge, and care have shaped this work from the very beginning. Join us for two days of connection, learning, and envisioning what’s possible when we build safety, healing, and belonging together.

Finding safe, stable housing is a critical step toward long-term survivor safety and stability. This workshop will explore the full continuum of survivor housing options, from emergency shelter and transitional housing to permanent housing solutions. Participants will learn strategies for helping families secure affordable rental and permanent housing opportunities while gaining a better understanding of how to develop and operate housing resources.

Presented by Angie Pacheco of DVSBF, this session will share the organization's experience developing and operating survivor-centered housing programs, highlighting practical lessons learned, innovative approaches, and real-world success stories. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies for overcoming common housing program development and operation barriers, strengthening housing pathways, and supporting survivors in achieving lasting housing stability.
