I’m honored to share that I’ll be serving as a keynote speaker at the 2027 Kansas Summit to End Homelessness, April 20 to 22 at the DoubleTree Hilton in Overland Park, Kansas City.
We’ll be diving into some of the biggest challenges facing homelessness response systems today:
- Upstream drivers of homelessness, the underlying conditions that push people into housing crisis in the first place.
- Prevention and system inflow, intervening before people enter the homeless response system.
- Built for Zero and system flow concepts, applying proven frameworks to move people through the system efficiently.
- Public narratives around homelessness, how the stories we tell shape policy and community response.
- How data can help communities respond more effectively and compassionately, using clear information to drive better decisions for the people who need them most.
Kansas is doing some very interesting work around statewide coordination, prevention, and data driven homelessness response, and I’m looking forward to being part of the conversation.
Huge thank you to the Kansas Statewide Homeless Coalition and Christy McMurphy for the opportunity. Looking forward to it already.
