The 4th Annual Summit on Ending Homelessness
October 22-23, 2009
Kellogg Center, East Lansing, MI
The 4th Annual Summit on Ending Homelessness will be held on October 22 - 23, 2009 at the Kellogg Center on the Campus of Michigan State University. We are in the process of developing our agenda, so, if you would like to showcase your agency's best practice around ending homelessness, presentations are scheduled for one and a half hours.
Complete and e-mail the Presentation Proposal form if you are interested.
Also, here is a link to the 2009 Carla Javits Ending Homelessness Leadership Award nomination form. MSHDA is looking for individual nominations, leaders who value the transformation of systems from sheltering to Housing First/Rapid Re-housing, the creation of a program or practices that have been embraced, implemented and shared across the region and/or the state, or practices that promote sustaining, innovating or encouraging communication around your Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness.
Should you have any questions, contact your Homeless Assistance Specialists.

Michigan planted itself firmly in the National Partnership of results oriented, performance based, jurisdictionally led, and community based 10-year planning efforts with the simultaneous unveiling of 60 community commitments to 10-Year Plans to End Homelessness covering 100% of Michigan's 83 counties.
This unprecedented state achievement of 100% participation was celebrated at a two day Michigan Homeless Summit held in Lansing attended by more than 650 people that marked the official launch of Michigan's Campaign to End Homelessness.
Homeless advocates from around the country, state and local officials, and service providers came together to celebrate the completion of the plans on the first day of the conference. The second day was devoted to implementation strategies, as leaders attempted to equip the counties with the tools they need to move forward with the ten year plans. This development in Michigan significantly increases the number of completed ten year plans around the country.
