Housing Washington 2026 was held at Spokane Convention Center in Spokane, Washington.
The organizer identifies affordable housing professionals, advocates, and policymakers in Washington state as attendees.
The national policy panel with speakers from the National Alliance to End Homelessness, the National Council of State Housing Agencies and the National Low Income Housing Coalition, plus a state legislative roundtable, gave it real policy weight. Professionals based outside Washington, or those seeking a large vendor exhibit scene, would get less from it, as the program was centered on state-level practice and equity goals.
Attendees at state housing and policy conferences usually wear business casual, with some in suits on panel days. Spokane in late October is typically cool, so a jacket or layers are sensible.
