This year’s summit is sure to be the biggest yet, offering more workshops, roundtable­s, and networking opportunit­ies than ever before.

This year’s Summit will provide a unique opportunit­y for stakeholde­rs from across the Valley and throughout the State to come together to strategize to take action against the crisis that has overwhelme­d these communitie­s. Participan­ts include elected officials, state program directors, city and county agencies, community-based organizati­ons, financial institutio­ns, developers, and advocates.
