Designed to move your work forward
The 2026 ONPHA Conference is built around what it takes to move the sector forward. Smarter systems, stronger leadership, and organizations designed to thrive.
Over three days, you will hear from sector leaders, frontline workers, and changemakers working at the forefront of community housing in Ontario. You will leave with practical tools you can use right away, a clearer picture of how we can actively shape what comes next for the sector, and connections with the people helping to get it there.
To close out the Conference, we’re taking things out into the field where the work happens. See community housing work up close through guided tours and explore Toronto neighbourhoods.
