Hello Texas Social Work Colleagues,

I hope this letter finds you and your loved ones well, happy, and safe. My name is Abbie and I work for My Dog Is My Home<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.mydogismyhome.org_&d=DwMFaQ&c=oqyuZuih6ykib6aKiBq22_bich4AVfYGoLertJN0bEc&r=xNSq65RFwG7gkctI8-Aze-KfFqChkz352Sbl-IaoH1U&m=vdBewMDtR7ix6rLSSqnkjUn0EgYWkIJJy8qpuyXKTtA_teJz-pIVBKyV3hqTyxPO&s=Z1Hy-m-G51ZQEqytMEdLG1xdTWQo0oUwI85U4PGwXeI&e=>, a national nonprofit in the U.S. dedicated to expanding access to shelter for individuals experiencing homelessness with their companion animals.  It is with great enthusiasm that I formally invite you and your network of colleagues and students to attend our Third Annual Co-Sheltering Conference, which will be held virtually on March 21-23, 2023. We have student rates, conference scholarships<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_forms_d_e_1FAIpQLSfy2z5egHqSWUf6JKZNtOU-5FQ9yxfzeCoSqKBWnyyAArV3F-2DAg_viewform&d=DwMFaQ&c=oqyuZuih6ykib6aKiBq22_bich4AVfYGoLertJN0bEc&r=xNSq65RFwG7gkctI8-Aze-KfFqChkz352Sbl-IaoH1U&m=vdBewMDtR7ix6rLSSqnkjUn0EgYWkIJJy8qpuyXKTtA_teJz-pIVBKyV3hqTyxPO&s=yko665Ahii48CT_a-CeEpIush1KbVZP7XTVHB8QZfS0&e=>, and bundled ticket discounts available.



This year’s theme is “Changing Systems. Changing Lives. Creating a world with equitable access to homes for people and their animals.” At the conference, you’ll hear inspirational stories of how companion animals provide safety & comfort and improve the physical & emotional health of people experiencing homelessness. You will also network with homeless services providers, animal welfare groups, and other stakeholders from different fields to drive system changes for equitable and accessible housing for people and their animals. Through our curated program of speakers and workshops, organizations across disciplines will acquire tools and build their capacity to serve human-animal families. Some of our exciting speakers include Ann Oliva (Chief Executive Officer of the National Alliance to End Homelessness) and Susan Riggs (Senior Director of Housing Policy, ASPCA®).


My Dog Is My Home’s conference encourages participants of all backgrounds. If any students, faculty, or staff would like to attend, they may find more information and register on our website<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.mydogismyhome.org_2023-2Dcosheltering-2Dconference&d=DwMFaQ&c=oqyuZuih6ykib6aKiBq22_bich4AVfYGoLertJN0bEc&r=xNSq65RFwG7gkctI8-Aze-KfFqChkz352Sbl-IaoH1U&m=vdBewMDtR7ix6rLSSqnkjUn0EgYWkIJJy8qpuyXKTtA_teJz-pIVBKyV3hqTyxPO&s=gZVvHjWl1eppc9byhqdI4WTI4YALrk2W8Jpbvr8txvk&e=>.
