The Homelessness Planning Council announced plans for Nashville's 2025 State of Homelessness Symposium, naming national and local housing experts who will discuss data-driven funding, Medicaid's role in housing solutions and national best practices.
Organizers said speakers will include Dr. Sam Sembarras (identified in the announcement as a founder of a Housing First initiative), Roseanne Haggerty, president and chief executive officer of Community Solutions; Richard Cho, director at Manatt Health; and Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell. The announcement invited attendees to "register today" but did not specify the symposium date or a registration link.
The council's promotional remarks said the symposium will offer three main focuses: data insights to guide future funding initiatives; national best practices that could inform local innovation; and local reports compared with national averages. The announcement characterized the event as including a town-hall discussion with Mayor O'Connell and sessions on the intersection of Medicaid and housing.
The announcement did not include an agenda, length of sessions, registration cost or the precise event date. It also did not provide organizational affiliations for Dr. Sam Sembarras beyond the description in the announcement. "Register today" was the only registration instruction provided in the transcript.
The symposium, as described, aims to connect policymakers and service providers around Housing First approaches and financing strategies that involve Medicaid and other payors. The announcement positioned the event as a venue for sharing evidence and practice models rather than as a forum for immediate policy votes or commitments by the Homelessness Planning Council.
For interested attendees, the announcement advised registering; additional details including the event date, location within Nashville, registration link and session schedule were not specified in the supplied text.
