The National Health Care for the Homeless Council is excited to open our call for abstracts for the 2027 National Health Care for the Homeless Conference & Policy Symposium in Baltimore at the Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor, May 10-13.
Our conference — the largest of its kind in the country — brings together clinicians, researchers, policymakers, advocates, and individuals with lived experience to share knowledge, explore best practices, and advance health outcomes for people experiencing homelessness.
The deadline to submit an abstract is Oct 2, 2026.
We welcome submissions from NHCHC members and non-members. Presentations should highlight promising practices, outcome-centered models, and collaborative approaches. We strongly encourage submissions that include diverse perspectives and reflect the voices of those with lived experience.
If selected, presenters are required to pay a discounted registration for the conference based on their presenter and organizational membership status.
