On June 29th over 1,500 members of the supportive housing community joined the Network for its 21st Annual New York State Supportive Housing Conference. The conference featured 23 panels with experts sharing updates and best practices and tools for providers in supportive housing including how to utilize harm reduction, affirm LGBTQIA+ communities, the importance of using humanizing language, de-escalation, clinical risk management and supporting staff.
Network Board Chair Brenda Rosen kicked-off the morning session followed by Network Executive Director Pascale Leone who then introduced NYS Deputy Secretary Jihoon Kim. Former Tenant of the Year Awardee Maliq Edwards introduced mixed media artist Alok Vaid-Menon whose work centers around trauma, belonging and the human condition, to deliver a sentimental keynote speech.
