Area Events:
The St. Ambrose University School of Social Work invites you to attend thier 24th Annual Social Justice Conference on May 19, 2022. The Conference will be held from 8:00am-4:00pm at the Rogalski Center Ballroom.
The conference, “The Housing Crisis: Empowering Social Workers Toward Action” will feature keynote speaker Diane Yentel, President and CEO of the National Low Income Housing Coalition.
The United States has a severe shortage of affordable homes and gaping holes in our social safety net. The same long-standing pre-pandemic housing inequities will persist, unless and until policymakers at all levels enact robust tenant protections and invest in the long-term solutions needed to make housing affordable to the lowest income people. In this presentation, Diane Yentel, President and CEO of the National Low Income Housing Coalition, will discuss how the pandemic exacerbated and exposed the long-standing housing crisis, why the crisis most harms people with the lowest incomes and people of color, the solutions just within reach, and the political will needed to end homelessness and achieve housing justice once and for all.
Following the keynote presentation there will be a panel discussion of community members and professionals who will share their personal and professional experiences with this social justice topic.
The event is approved for 6.0 CEU's for Iowa and Illinois social workers. The conference fee is $75.
