Animal Welfare Professionals

Animal shelters and rescues are often on the receiving end of pet surrenders due to complex rental housing issues that are difficult to address in the moment. Recognizing the need for sustainable solutions, Michelson Found Animals' Pet-Inclusive Housing Initiative (PIHI) has developed resources to help animal welfare organizations more effectively engage rental housing providers with pet-inclusive approaches to help build happier, healthier communities. Through this session, the PIHI team will provide a path for having more effective conversations with rental housing providers while empowering pet owners with the information they need to access pet-inclusive rental housing. 

Join us  for Camp Maddie: Pet-Inclusive Housing Edition on November 13 at 12pm PT to:

• Gain a deeper understanding of market rate housing issues and the rental housing provider perspective.
• Learn how to effectively advocate for pet-inclusive policies in housing.
• Utilize Pet-Inclusive Housing Initiative (PIHI) resources to initiate programs and discussions that can increase pet-inclusive housing opportunities.
