Collaborative Housing Symposium
April 9
We are excited to announce the newly expanded Collaborative Housing Symposium: Foundation for a Stronger Iowa, formerly known as the Rural Housing Readiness Assessment (RHRA) Conference. This is on April 9th, 2025, at the Gateway Hotel & Conference Center in Ames. Brought to you by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach’s Community and Economic Development unit, the Symposium’s aim is to complement and enhance the Rural Housing Readiness Assessment (RHRA) process through a combination of workshops, keynotes, and a range of networking opportunities designed to get attendees sharing ideas around improving housing quality, access, and affordability in their communities.
