2025 Housing Symposium: From Crisis to Commitment

The Housing Symposium is an annual event sponsored by the Halifax Housing and Homelessness Partnership (HHP) and organized by the United Way Maritimes in collaboration with the Nova Scotia Non-Profit Housing Association. In previous years, the Housing Symposium focused on housing and homelessness in Halifax Regional Municipality but has since expanded to encompass all of Nova Scotia and related issues across the Maritimes.

This influential event brings together visionary leaders, policy innovators, developers, and passionate community advocates to tackle one of the most urgent challenges of our time: the future of housing.

In a world facing unprecedented crises—whether economic, political, social, or environmental—we are shifting the narrative from reaction to proactive transformation. Join us as we explore how the housing sector can adopt a forward-thinking mindset rooted in commitment, innovation, and sustainability! With dynamic keynote addresses, interactive panel discussions, and engaging speakers, this symposium offers a unique opportunity to explore groundbreaking solutions that can transform urban landscapes, boost affordability, and foster inclusive communities.

This conference is a call to action for change! Be inspired by leaders sharing innovative housing ideas, learn new sustainable building strategies, and participate in important discussions on policy, technology, and social responsibility.
