2018-Annual Meeting and Housing Expo

HAND’s 27th Annual Meeting & Housing Expo


On June 12, 2018, HAND welcomed over 1,400 housing and community development practitioners to its Annual Meeting & Housing Expo, themed Deconstruct Our Past, Redesign Our Future. This year’s conference featured the compelling exhibit:

This interactive exhibit took guests along a journey of discrimination, segregation and housing policy in the United States, connecting the intentional and systematic racial housing segregation of the 1930s to political and social issues of today, through the powerful narratives of the people and communities affected by redlining and its legacy. The exhibit gave conference attendees an opportunity to explore our history, be inspired by stories of vision and change, and most importantly, be a part of a dialogue for new and equitable policies and practices moving forward.

The conference kicked off with its morning Plenary session titled, “The Impact of Redlining on Communities and People: Related Causes, Consequences, and Equitable Strategies for a Better Path Forward,” at which thought leaders crossing jurisdictions and industry sectors explored issues stemming from the conference’s theme. Guests also had the opportunity to connect with other HAND members and colleagues in the Housing Expo, which featured 100 exhibitors. The convening concluded with its signature Awards Luncheon featuring April De Simone, Co-Founding Partner, Undesign the Redline and designing the WE, as the Keynote Speaker, to round out the day’s dialogue. Congratulations again to the winners of our 2018 Housing Achievement Awards and Children’s Art Contest!

Thank you to all of our sponsors, members, partners and guests who attended this year’s Annual Meeting & Housing Expo! We also extend a very special thank you to the Cardinal Shehan School Choir for its performance – keep inspiring the world around you!
