COVID-19 Safety

COVID-19 Safety Protocol

Last Updated: November 2024

Our attendees’ health and safety is our #1 priority. We are especially aware of the risks that those who are immunocompromised or otherwise vulnerable to infection are taking to attend an in-person event.

With that in mind, we have developed the following safety protocols for the conference.

All participants are require to take an at-home Covid test 24 hours before attending the conference. Participants should stay at home if they test positive for COVID-19, have COVID-like symptoms, or have recently been exposed.

Housing California will continue to closely monitor all guidelines and regulations and reserves the right to change, suspend, or revoke all or parts of these safety protocols and measures as appropriate.

More detailed information on the Covid-19 conference protocols listed below. Updated as of November 1, 2024.

  • Attendees are not required to show proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 during the check in process. However, we encourage all attendees to take advantage of all COVID-19 and Flu vaccines that are available to them.
  • Attendees should stay home if they have tested positive for COVID-19 (we request that attendees test 24 hours or less prior to arrival), have COVID-19 symptoms (or Flu symptoms), or have been in close contact with a person who has tested positive for or who has symptoms of COVID-19. If one of the previous scenarios is the case and you are not able to attend the conference, you may be eligible for a full refund. Please send an email to conference@housingca.org.
  • We encourage attendees to bring their own masks. You can “upgrade your mask” by wearing a N95, KF94, KN95, double mask, or fitted surgical mask. A limited number of masks will be available on-site.
  • During conference-provided meals, Housing California will provide the option of outdoor eating spaces whenever possible.
  • The SAFE Credit Union Convention Center will provide hand sanitizing stations within the facility.
