Sessions at Congress in 2026 focused on ways the sector can continue to grow despite its challenges, with extensive discussion about risk-taking, collaboration, leveraging resources, and reframing our narratives around the social and economic dividends of community housing. Presenters brought insights ranging between highly pragmatic, normative, and aspirational, painting a picture of both the future we want to build as a sector and how we adapt the admittedly imperfect tools we have at our disposal to create it.
