Oct 16, 2012, 5:50 PM | Updated: 5:50 pm

The Arizona Coalition to End Homelessness partnered with the Arizona Department of Education and Pacific Southwest ATTC to host the 19th Annual statewide conference to end homelessness held on Tuesday and Wednesday.

“Proud to have this opportunity to bring together all the direct service practitioners that work so tirelessly throughout the state to come together network, re-energize, learn best practices so they go back out into the community and make a real difference,” said Director of the Arizona Coalition to End Homelessness Joan Serviss.

The two-day event, which culminates on Wednesday, focuses, “on collaborations and creative solutions to meet the challenges of the current economy and best practices.”
As non-profits, we get stretched so thin, sometimes we need to take time out to learn how we can do things differently,” said Serviss.

This year’s conference will feature dynamic storytellers and prominent leaders in the field of ending homelessness. The conference is an exciting networking opportunity for all who participate.

We want to hear from you.
