In the face of shrinking federal support and an increase in unprecedented emergencies, community development organizations are being called to respond in new and urgent ways. This session explores best practices implemented by organizations who are navigating the challenges of addressing both immediate crisis response and long-term recovery, with a focus on preventing displacement and preserving affordability. Through storytelling and grounded examples, participants will explore how shifting strategies, emerging partnerships, and cultural competency are shaping the field. Join us for a conversation that centers lived experiences, highlights community-led responses, and surfaces actionable insights for organizations adapting in real-time.

Thank you to The Huntington National Bank for sponsoring this session.
