Housing as health, housing as community, housing as liberatory — that is the future we are working toward. More than 50 years after the passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, we continue to build on the promises of this groundbreaking policy to dream, vision, explore, play, and create new housing futures together. Focusing on Housing Futures demands that we reprioritize our values and consider the importance of intergenerational housing stability for Black, Brown and Indigenous families and what that means for radically transforming housing, health and economic systems.
This year, during Housing Futures Month in April, PolicyLink is calling on everyone to consider how we can each contribute to designing and implementing housing models that allow everyone the stability and ability to dream about and pursue bold futures at an HFM Activation event in Philadelphia at the Asian Arts Initiative. Join this in-person event and meet grassroots organizers and local leaders who are re-imagining our relationships to our homes, communities, and the land we live on.
Presenters, Guest Speakers, and Vendors will be announced soon.
About Housing Futures Month
Building on the promises of the Fair Housing Act, every April, PolicyLink's Housing Futures Month calls on each of us to consider how we can contribute to designing and implementing housing models that allow everyone the stability and ability to dream about and pursue bold futures.
Housing Futures Month engages people from all backgrounds, including policymakers, housing advocates, developers, architects, and community members, to envision and work towards creating inclusive, affordable, and sustainable housing models for the future.
The goal of Housing Futures Month is to raise awareness of the important role that housing plays in shaping our communities and individual lives, and to encourage collaboration and innovative thinking to address our current and future housing challenges. Learn more about Housing Futures Month.
