Conference/COVID-19 Update

---

BIRMINGHAM, AL - After careful consideration of the widespread health risks and various limitations presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the planning committee for the National Conference on Safe Housing: Addressing the Housing Needs of Survivors of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault made the difficult decision to cancel its national conference scheduled for October 28–30, 2020. All conference registration fees will be fully refunded.

Please know, that this decision was not taken lightly. Having the opportunity to interact with you in person is one of the things we will miss the most. However, the health and safety of our attendees, speakers, vendors, and community are among our top priorities.
