Morning Plenary Panel!
The conference features a very special morning plenary panel, with a rare public appearance from three important representatives from the Governor's Office. Joining us will be Executive Deputy Director of State Operations Fran Reiter, Deputy Secretary for Health Courtney Burke and Deputy Secretary for Human Services and Information Technology Louisa Chafee. These three influential State leaders will conduct a wide-ranging discussion on issues related to supportive housing, homelessness, healthcare and other challenges facing our community. We hope you’ll join us for this unique opportunity to hear from three of Governor Cuomo’s top advisors.
Just Added!

Also joining us will be two New York City Council members: Stephen Levin, Chair of the General Welfare Committee, and Jumaane D. Williams, Chair of the Committee on Housing and Buildings.
