CHA’s Owner Symposium Helps Property Owners Strengthen their Businesses

Freddie Jones-Smith is an HCV property owner in Chicago who owns two three-flat buildings and a single-family home. She has been able to understand the rules and regulations of a complex industry because of the information she received at the CHA Owner Symposium. 

“The people who were speaking, the different lectures – it was awesome,” she said. Jones-Smith was one of 1,000 real estate professionals representing some 10,000 rental units who attended the 14th annual Owner Symposium in 2023. 

The Owner Symposium is an education and networking event designed to equip property owners, managers, realtors, brokers, investors and other residential rental housing professionals with timely tools and knowledge they need to strengthen their communities and grow their business. 

“Why is this important?” CHA Chief Housing Choice Voucher Officer Cheryl Burns asked. “Because stable housing is the backbone of healthy communities.”
