Michigan Homeless Summit

The 2nd Annual Summit on Ending Homelessness was a success.

This year, the Summit on Ending Homelessness included opening plenary remarks from Philip F. Mangano, executive director of the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness. The keynote speaker David Miller, senior policy associate from the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors gave a very informative presentation on supportive housing being the doorway and foundation to recovery for homeless suffering from mental illness. Annette Simmons, Author and Founder of Group Process Consulting provided the audience with an inspirational, interative presentation on the story factor and the influence through the art of storytelling.

There were approaches to implementing Housing First strategies, systems change implementation and your 10-Year plan along with many other topics offered at the breakout sessions. These presentations came from Michigan and nationally known growing experts and leaders.

The following links are to just a few of the presentations.

Breakout Sessions Presentations


Governor GranholmMichigan planted itself firmly in the National Partnership of results oriented, performance based, jurisdictionally led, and community based 10-year planning efforts with the simultaneous unveiling of 60 community commitments to 10-Year Plans to End Homelessness covering 100% of Michigan's 83 counties.

This unprecedented state achievement of 100% participation was celebrated at a two day Michigan Homeless Summit held in Lansing attended by more than 650 people that marked the official launch of Michigan's Campaign to End Homelessness.

Homeless advocates from around the country, state and local officials, and service providers came together to celebrate the completion of the plans on the first day of the conference. The second day was devoted to implementation strategies, as leaders attempted to equip the counties with the tools they need to move forward with the ten year plans. This development in Michigan significantly increases the number of completed ten year plans around the country.
