2026 Disability-Forward Housing Futures Summit

The Kelsey is hosting the 2026 Disability-Forward Housing Futures Summit on Wednesday, December 2, 9 AM–5 PM PT, offered virtually or in person at the Ed Roberts Campus in Berkeley, California. 

This gathering explores strategies to expand affordable, accessible, and inclusive housing, an urgent priority given that:

• 71 million Americans face at least one housing barrier.
• People with disabilities are 4x more likely to experience homelessness.
• Less than 6% of housing is accessible.
• 55% of all housing discrimination claims are disability-related.
• The 2025 National Renter Survey shows 10.2 million renters need accessibility features, but the majority lack them.

Jurisdictions play a key role in changing this reality. We hope you'll join the conversation. Please feel free to share far and wide. This is relevant to jurisdictions, developers, communities, and families trying to navigate accessible housing.
