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!

This conference, from April 28-30, 2025 at The Shores Resort and Spa is exclusively for Florida affiliate employees and volunteers.
With so many building methods on the market, it can be hard to know what will work best for your affiliate. Hear about the best practices of two affiliates who took on unique construction methods and succeeded!

Join us for a review of existing resources available to support Habitat’s work in U.S. rural communities and recent affiliate successes and innovations, and engage in a conversation around strategy and continual improvement. We will kick off the session with an overview of current resources available to affiliates in rural areas, including funding opportunities, capacity building, advocacy and HFHI staff positions dedicated to rural support. Recent successes and innovations will bring these resources and opportunities to life and inspire attendees with tangible results.

Your insights and experiences are invaluable as we work together to build stronger, more resilient rural communities.

Apply lessons and promising practices from other affiliates’ successes. 3. Participate in imagining and co-creating next steps in HFHI’s strategy to support work in rural communities.
