Power and Unity: Mobilizing for Action
The National Lived Experience Leadership Conference is a conference designed by and for people with lived experience of homelessness. Activists, local leaders, and people with homelessness experience will gather to build power and unity – and mobilize for action to end homelessness.
This annual conference will be hosted for the first time on the West Coast, featuring panel discussions, action labs, and workshops led by experts in the field – including people with lived experience of homelessness. Every aspect of this conference – from logistics planning to session themes – is being informed by the perspectives of the people who are most impacted by this issue.
The National Lived Experience Leadership Conference is hosted in partnership with Destination Home. To learn more about our organizing partner, click the link below.
