The Forum
The National Homelessness Law Center hosts the National Forum on the Human Right to Housing on a biennial basis to build strategies and capacity to advance housing as the solution to homelessness and end the punishment of unhoused people.
Beginning in 2024, the Law Center has re-envisioned our Forum as a hub for movement partners to come together and re-imagine the future together. The 2026 Forum will be held on October 15-16, 2026 and will focus on uniting the movements to guarantee housing, health, and safety for all without punishment and to focus on solutions for housing.
Due to limited capacity, registration for the 2026 Forum will be available by invitation only.
Previous Events
Our 2022 Right to Housing Forum was held on November 16-17 hosted by Akin & Gump. Our Keynote Speaker, Marc Dones of the King County Regional Homelessness Authority, delivered an engaging and thoughtful opening speech which set the tone for the rest of the forum. Marc highlighted the importance of story telling and narrative building in our work, reminding all of us that reality is simply an agreed upon set of narratives that can always be challenged and changed.
Our hope is that you will watch, share and learn from the offered recordings from our 2022 forum so that we can build on the momentum of these conversations and push toward a future without homelessness.
