Housing can have a profound impact on health—positive or negative. How can our
community make the most of this connection to foster well-being for residents?
Join us for a half-day summit to learn from state and local innovators in health and housing. Planners,
builders, developers, architects, community leaders and advocates will gain new knowledge and practical
tips.
After the keynote and panel discussion, participants will have an opportunity to raise a glass, enjoy
appetizers, and connect with speakers and other attendees interested in building a healthy community.
HEAL SLO Healthy Communities leaders will be available to discuss local support for making the
connection between health and housing.
Keep reading for agenda and a full list of speakers.
