Housing Washington 2010 Tacoma, WA

Reaching the Pivotal Point

The Housing Washington planning team is busily working on developing another strong program for its 2010 conference that will take place in Tacoma on Oct. 19 & 20. At least 700 people working in the affordable housing domain are expected to attend. The Coalition for the Homeless endorses this important conference, so mark your calendars now!

Everyone is concerned about the topsy-turvy economy and gloom in the housing markets. That’s why this year’s conference agenda will focus on “reaching the pivotal point” for recovery by looking at how new federal and local policies, local and global economics, and financial developments will provide opportunities for affordable housing. Sessions will provide insights and ideas in the foreclosure arena, housing preservation, and sustainable, affordable, energy efficient, green strategies. Solutions for all areas of society and culture, including the aging, disabled, very low-income and homeless, plus the farm worker and low-to-moderate-income service worker will be discussed. Issues surrounding successful community development in rural and urban areas plus single and multi-family options will also be on the agenda.

Now in its 17th year, Housing Washington has already received sponsorship commitments from Bank of America, Chase, Union Bank of California and U.S. Bank. Their support partially underwrites the conference scholarship program where registration fees and expense stipends are provided to individuals who serve as staff or board members of nonprofit organizations.

A Showcase Reception with Exhibitors and the annual Friend of Housing Awards Celebration are special events included in the conference. Conference information, including scholarship, sponsorship, exhibiting and program details, is updated frequently at www.wshfc.org/conf.
