TPCH held the 2018 Making Homelessness History Conference Sept. 18 with support from nine agency sponsors: Diamond Sponsor Arizona Complete Health; Sapphire Sponsors ICS plus Intermountain Centers with Community Partners; Emerald Sponsors CBI, Inc. and Gospel Rescue Mission; plus, Opal Sponsors Compass Affordable Housing, Cope Community Services, and Our Family Services.
TPCH extends many thanks to each sponsor, and will continue to acknowledge their support on our website here.
Many thanks as well to Arizona Department of Housing Director Carol L. Ditmore for insights into statewide housing; the 25 subject matter experts who spoke during the breakout sessions; and the eight volunteers who helped ensure that sessions ran smoothly.
Overall, more than 100 persons participated in the professional development and fundraising event. Preliminary estimates are that the conference raised more than $9,000 for TPCH to use in printing the Need Help? pamphlets and Guidelines on Getting Out as well as to help purchase gift cards to thank participants in the annual Point-In-Time unsheltered or Street Count.
