We're proud to say that Homes for All! 2006 was a success in many ways. In addition to the more than 900 registered participants, we had
  • leaders from all different sectors coming together to pledge support for affordable housing and homelessness issues
  • over 50 exhibiting organizations,
  • 35 action steps presented in thirteen breakout sessions, and
  • four art exhibits.

The Convention and issues discussed at the Convention were covered by multiple media outlets. Juan William's keynote address was broadcast on MPR's Midday the week following the Convention (click here to link to the recording); KARE11's Joe Fryer interviewed two Homes for All! participants at the Convention and the resulting story was shown on the 10 p.m. news (click here to watch to link to the recording); and the National Low Income Housing Coalition's Memo to Members newsletter ran a story about the Convention (click here to read the story).

To help keep the Homes for All! solution momentum going, we have posted the Convention materials below. Enjoy!
