The National Housing Conference and the Center for Housing Policy are presenting a multi-day conference in Chicago June 28-30, 2009, Solutions for Working Families: 2009 Learning Conference on State and Local Housing Policy. The conference is designed for state and local leaders, planners, elected and appointed officials, housing and smart growth advocates, community development practitioners, and anyone else interested in affordable housing. A pre-conference workshop will focus on green/energy efficient affordable housing. Among the featured/keynote speakers are: Carol Coletta, President and CEO of CEOs for Cities and host of the syndicated public radio show Smart City; Bruce Katz of the Brookings Institute; Nicholas Retsinas of the Harvard University Joint Center for housing Studies; and Henry Cisneros, of CityView Companies and former HUD Secretary.

This sounds like a great conference. I’ve already registered for it.
If you are interested in genuine solutions to the housing crisis, this is the conference to attend.
Housing has become the red-headed stepchild of the planning profession. APA pretty much ignores it. This conference will give attendees the tools to make a difference.
