Conference on Ending Homelessness
coming October, 2023

Preparations are underway for the 2023 Conference on Ending Homelessness (COEH)!

COEH is the largest annual gathering of people working to end homelessness in Washington. For the 2022 conference, we gathered virtually from across the state to learn from each other, exchange ideas and share advice, get inspired and re-energized, and organize to grow the movement to end homelessness in Washington and beyond.

This conference is for everyone – whether you are a service provider, a long-time housing justice advocate, an organizer, an elected official, or someone who wants to start learning more about how we can end homelessness in Washington, we extend a warm welcome for you to join us. We will provide multiple spaces for identity-based caucusing to reflect and process with others who share similar identities.

Are you interested in being part of COEH 2023? There are lots of ways to get involved:

  • Submit a session proposal for COEH 2023. Proposals are currently due by March 24, 2023.
  • Get information about joining the Program Development Committee, which reviews and evaluates session proposals, offers input on topics to prioritize, makes speaker suggestions, and more: https://bit.ly/coehprogramcmte
  • Get information about joining the Equity Committee, which advises on caucus programming at the conference, accessibility planning, scholarships, and more: https://bit.ly/coehequitycmte
  • Get notified when we are ready to accept scholarship applications for next year's conference. We will prioritize people with lived experience of homelessness, people working with people experiencing homelessness and a behavioral health disability, and homeless service providers whose agencies have limited funds for professional development. Scholarships cover the full cost of attending the conference, and the application process is easy. Get a heads up when the scholarship window opens next year at: https://bit.ly/coehscholarships
