In response to the increasing challenges posed by COVID-19 (coronavirus), the SDRAFFH Fair Housing Conference, originally slated for April 2, 2020, has been postponed to Tuesday, May 19th and will be held virtually via webinar.

San Diego Housing Federation and SDRAFFH have approached the unfolding situation with seriousness and care, and we have not made these decisions lightly. Keeping our communities healthy & thriving is our top priority at the San Diego Housing Federation.

The San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing (SDRAFFH), the San Diego Housing Federation, California Housing Finance Agency, Pacific Western Bank, and LISC San Diego are proud to host the 5th Annual Fair Housing Conference on Thursday, April 2, 2020. In celebration of National Fair Housing Month in April, this Conference will explore critical fair housing issues intersecting with data and technology that are impacting San Diego County today and its diverse communities.

Lisa Rice, President and CEO of the National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA), will deliver this year’s keynote address and challenge participants to look at fair housing and the cross-over issues and opportunities related to technology.

Join fair housing practitioners, policy makers, housing advocates and developers, community leaders, and top experts in discussing and exploring fair housing discrimination issues and solutions to improving our communities.

At this time, we are offering those who have previously registered the option to use their tickets for the 2021 SDRAFFH Conference. No more refunds will be made.
