The conference will welcome approximately 250 participants, including executive directors, board members, housing managers, and community partners from non-profit and co-operative housing organizations throughout New Brunswick. At a time of growing housing insecurity and increasing pressure on community housing providers, the conference will focus on strengthening the people, governance, and systems that make affordable housing possible.
With the theme centred on building both the physical development of housing and the long-term sustainability of the housing sector, the conference will offer practical training, workshops, and collaborative sessions designed to equip organizations for today’s challenges and tomorrow’s needs.
“Non-profit and co-operative housing organizations are being asked to do more than ever, often with limited resources and growing complexity,” said Peter Corbyn, Executive Director of the New Brunswick Non-Profit Housing Association. “This conference is about ensuring the sector is supported with the tools, knowledge, and connections needed to steward housing responsibly and sustainably.”
Programming will include bilingual workshops, governance and leadership training, facilitated discussions, and opportunities for cross-sector collaboration. Sessions will focus on topics such as board governance, organizational capacity, project readiness, collaboration across systems, and the realities of delivering housing in both urban and rural communities.
Beyond professional development, the conference also creates space for shared learning and alignment across the housing system, helping organizations reduce duplication, strengthen partnerships, and improve long-term outcomes for communities.
More information about registration, speakers, and conference programming will be released in the coming months. Organizations interested in partnership or sponsorship opportunities for the 2026 NBNPHA Conference are invited to contact Teri McMackin at [email protected] for more information.
