The Kansas Housing Conference returned this week to its first in-person gathering since before the Covid-19 pandemic — and a lot has changed in the housing market the last two years. “This is a really pivotal time for us in our industry in affordable housing, and specifically here in Kansas,” said Emily Sharp, a spokesperson with the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation, which puts on the annual conference. “… I think that the pandemic really put a lot of the housing challenges that were already existing in our state, and across the nation, really under the microscope.” It’s also the conference’s largest crowd yet. The three-day event started Tuesday and runs through Thursday at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Wichita. In its 17th year, the conference has 600 registered participants.
