ABOUT:
Our annual Housing Summit builds momentum around the vision of safe affordable housing. Lack of affordable, stable housing and deteriorating neighborhoods negatively impact health, education, economic development, and the quality of life we all want. Each year, we address a relevant theme that highlights the importance of accessible, affordable housing for Greensboro and beyond.
Established in the early 2000âs by the Greensboro Housing Coalition, and now hosted in partnership with the City of Greensboro and the Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), the Housing Summit aims to encourage meaningful education, discourse, and collaboration between attendees, with a focus on creating solutions to challenging problems.
Over time, the Summit has transformed community knowledge and attitudes towards affordable housing, and has been the catalyst for several successful partnerships.
