"Rethinking Homelessness: A Human First Approach to Community and Transformation"

The Other Side Village presents a powerful and hopeful session that redefines how we address chronic homelessness - not through programs alone, but through people, purpose, and place.

We are absolutely thrilled about this year's conference and can't wait to share an enriching experience with all of you! Our commitment to community engagement and professional development is as strong as ever, and we are grateful to the Utah Cultural Celebration Center for providing such a high-quality venue that truly reflects our dedication to excellence.

This year, we are focusing on keynote presentations, which promise to be both enlightening and impactful, while also offering a total of 7.5 continuing education units (CEUs) for your professional growth. We have two presentations that will be Ethics and Suicide Prevention credits. We hope you attend in-person but we also will have the conference broadcast via ZOOM for virtual participation as well.

Attendees can look forward to delicious catered breakfast and lunch, and to keep everyone energized throughout the day, we will have delightful coffee and soda bars available at different parts of the day. We hope to provide a good socializing event as well as professional networking opportunity for all that attend as well.

We sincerely appreciate the support of our vendors who contribute to the success of this event each year. As we finalize a few last-minute details, please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have—we're here to help and ensure you have a fantastic experience this year!
