The 2025 Southern Conference on Homelessness and Housing (SCHH) brings together housing developers, homeless program managers, case managers, advocates, state and local government representatives, mental and public health providers, and individuals with lived experience to address the persistent challenges of poverty and the lack of safe, decent, and affordable housing across our region. This year, we’re back on the beach at the beautiful Hilton Sandestin Golf Beach Resort and Spa and have made exciting changes to enhance your experience.
In addition to our robust lineup of breakout sessions and networking opportunities, we’ve added various fun outdoor activities (weather permitting) designed to help us build stronger teams, foster new connections, and enjoy some well-deserved relaxation.
Why LIHCA...Our Purpose and Mission
The affordable housing crisis in Alabama is staggering. Based on data from the National Low Income Housing Coalition, Alabama lacks over 90,000 affordable and available housing units for low-wage earning families. This means many of our neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family members are unable to find safe and affordable housing for their families.
Compounding this problem is the fact that there has been no clear policy or statewide coalition designated to address this matter...until the creation of the Low Income Housing Coalition of Alabama (LIHCA), which was established in 2007 to address the housing crisis and increase housing opportunities for Alabamians with the greatest financial need.
