_{Homelessness to Housing: A Justice Summit}

November 3-6, 2025 | In-person & Online at Stony Point Center

• Overview The housing crisis in America is growing and the call for meaningful action has never been louder. This November, Stony Point Center will be hosting “Homelessness to Housing: A Justice Summit”, a powerful 3-day gathering of faith leaders, non-profits, advocates, and grassroots organizers working to understand, confront, and transform the systemic conditions that fuel homelessness and housing insecurity. This year, we’ll explore acts of mercy, advocacy, and innovative solutions like “Yes in God’s Backyard” (YIGBY), all with the intent of helping us care more effectively for our unhoused neighbors. Together, we’ll lay the foundation for building pathways to stable, affordable housing and driving long-term policy and community change. Through keynotes, workshops, and collaborative cohorts, participants will leave with actionable tools and a network of allies committed to housing justice.
• ‍What to Expect:
  • Inspiring Keynotes & Practical Workshops featuring faith-based and secular leaders working on the frontlines of housing justice.
