About the CSH Supportive Housing Summit 

Since 2015, the CSH Supportive Housing Summit has brought together tenants, people with lived experiences of homelessness, service providers, developers, property managers, and funders for a vibrant gathering that explores innovations in the supportive housing field. Each year, the Summit  propels supportive housing forward through sessions that foster collaboration and transformative impact.

We are thrilled to return to Denver in 2027. The conference will be held in-person at the Sheraton Denver Downtown, providing a unique opportunity for more than 800 attendees from diverse sectors and backgrounds to engage with current challenges, explore new solutions, and shape the future of supportive housing.

About Supportive Housing 

Supportive housing is affordable housing combined with services that help people facing complex barriers to housing find a safe place to live. Supportive housing is a proven intervention that typically serves people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. Quality supportive housing programs connect tenants to a range of services that help them move beyond crisis and to stability where they can thrive.

Before You Submit

Don’t worry if your session isn’t fully planned yet. At this stage, we’re simply collecting promising ideas for Summit sessions. You do not need to have a fully developed session, confirmed speakers, or detailed presentation plans. We only need enough information to understand your topic, audience, and approach. If your idea is selected to move forward, you’ll have the opportunity to submit a full proposal later.

  • Sessions are 60 minutes long. As you frame your idea we recommend no more than three speakers per session.
  • We welcome submissions from people with lived experience and encourage all sessions to incorporate the perspectives and voices of the people they serve.
  • If your idea is selected to move forward, you will be invited to submit a full proposal.
  • Applicants will be notified by September 2nd regarding whether their session idea has been selected to advance to the full proposal stage. 
    • Please note that an invitation to submit a full proposal does not guarantee acceptance to the final conference agenda.
  • If your session is selected for the agenda, discounted registration will be available for up to two speakers per session. All speakers are required to register for the Summit. We are unable to accommodate requests for day passes or single-session attendance.
  • We will not accept session submissions that primarily promote or market a specific product, tool, or service.

Requests for Interest Proposals are due August 26th. Please contact summit@csh.org if you have any questions.
