We are excited to welcome you to our 2025 Habitat Florida Affiliate Conference! This year’s theme is Building Tomorrow, Together. As a network, we are embracing change, overcoming challenges, and finding innovative ways to serve our communities. Across Florida, the affordable housing crisis has required our affiliates to continually adapt. Yet, in the face of these challenges, the spirit of Habitat remains strong. Affiliates across the state are scaling up, building more, and serving more families than ever before. Together, we are forging a future where safe, affordable housing is within reach for all.
We have lined up an incredible slate of speakers and sponsors to share their wealth of knowledge with our affiliate network! Thank you for your participation!

Humanity Land is an original interactive game where participants play in groups of four to eight to explore decisions related to an affordable housing development. The game guides participants in exploring the trade-offs between different development/financing strategies and the impact of the decisions made. During the game, groups will make decisions on their mission priorities, where to build, what type of housing to develop, financial approaches, area median income of the households they will serve and more! This game creates the right space for affiliate leaders, staff and board members to have an important conversation about the challenges they face in their work. Please note, this is a 90 minute session.
We recommend this session for any affiliate leader, staff, or Board Member!
