Keynote Speaker

Denise D. Resnik joined us as our keynote speaker for the 21st annual supportive housing conference, Many Homes, One Community – Innovative Options for Supportive Living. A native of Phoenix, AZ, Denise has been instrumental as founder and CEO/president of First Place® AZ and co-founder of the Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC) in raising money for and awareness of autism and other neuro-diversities. Her work has helped Phoenix earn the reputation as “the most autism-friendly city in the world,” according to the PBS NewsHour.

Denise also served as editor and publisher of the 2009 landmark research report, Opening Doors: A Discussion of Residential Options for Adults Living with Autism and Related Disorders, a collaborative study by SARRC, the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Arizona, the Arizona State University (ASU) Stardust Center for Affordable Homes and the Family, and the ASU School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, now part of the Herberger Institute of Design and the Arts.

About the conference

The SHA Conference is an educational and networking opportunity for housing and service providers, community planners, housing developers, public officials, families/consumers and those interested in promoting and advancing supportive housing for people with special needs. Addressing state, regional as well as national issues, the conference draws an average of 400 attendees.

This year’s NJ Supportive Housing Conference theme, Many Homes, One Community – Innovative Options for Supportive Living, recognizes both the diversity of people who make up the community who envision a place to call home and the shared desire to expand options that embrace independence, choice and integration. Our industry’s common goal – to see more people with limited income and different abilities find a home and thrive – continues to push the boundaries of our imagination and fuel our determination. SHA’s conference will focus on how developers, service providers, advocates, families and consumers are creating new partnerships, finding common ground and increasing the resources to build accessible supportive options for people with special needs.

We are interested in the experiences of NJ providers but also want to hear how other states are constructing effective plans in response to the needs of people with disabilities in housing and services.
