About Intersections 2018 Where we live matters. Everyone should be able to live in a place that offers opportunity: access to jobs, parks, public transit, quality schools and stable homes. Strong and inclusive communities provide the foundation that people and families need to thrive now and for future generations. At Intersections 2018 we will explore how to work collectively in order to make inclusive communities the new norm. With sound policy and effective action, we can shape our communities to be equitable and filled with opportunity for all. As neighborhoods grow and change, we can make sure that happens in a way that is good for the people who live there. We ensure that families can put down roots without fear of being forced out and that people who are providing essential services can also live in the communities they serve. Strong communities have diverse housing options for a variety of incomes, offering choice and opportunity for all residents. Our vision is simple thriving, inclusive communities that last. Intersections 2018 provides an unequaled chance to network, learn, and gain essential tools to revitalize communities and provide greater access to opportunity. Sessions and seminars are led by some of the most committed and creative professionals dedicated to building equitable and inclusive communities in our nation. At Intersections 2018, you ll find people and programs devoted to lasting affordability and strong housing policies from community land trusts, Habitat affiliates, inclusionary housing programs, local policy makers and advocates from across the country. This year, we will be hosting the conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and look forward to partnering with local members to bring some Pittsburgh spirit and flair to general sessions, panel discussion, receptions and tours!
