📣 Registration is now open for WHA’s The State of Homelessness and Affordable Housing, our fourth annual breakfast and speaker program in recognition of Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week on Friday, November 21st, 2025.

🔗 Register at http://sohah2025.eventbrite.com

Join us for breakfast and a morning of community conversations and networking critical to our collective movement to end homelessness.

🔸 We will be joined by speakers from several organizations who are integral in providing food and health care access to those in Washtenaw County. They will share how they are responding to the current challenges caused by federal cuts to their programs and the impact their services have on housing security for many in the county.

🔸 We will also take time to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the City of Ann Arbor’s Affordable Housing Millage. Known in 2020 as Proposal C, its passage marked the most significant expansion of affordable housing in the region in over 40 years.
