24th Annual Conference:
Florida's Premier Statewide Affordable Housing Training and Technical Assistance Event
September 26-28, 2011
Rosen Shingle Creek Resort
Orlando, Florida.

The Florida Housing Coalition invites you to join us at the 24th Annual Conference. Our theme is "Housing = Jobs." Considering our current housing market, this truly is a new day for housing. We must re-evaluate our housing strategies to effectively assist Floridians in obtaining and sustaining affordable housing. With that in mind we are offering four exciting tracks:

*Neighborhood Stabilization in Florida Recovery and Reinvestment - Progress overview; new HUD guidance; upcoming tasks and milestones; and  training for program design;
*Affordable Green Housing - Integrating design; establishing initiatives and policies; and creating effective partnerships;
*Preservation - From HUD to USDA: Focus on identifying and acquiring existing assisted rental housing; and
*Foreclosure Prevention - Hardest-Hit  Program update and other foreclosure alternatives.

In addition to the four training workshops within each track, we will have training sessions on the nuts and bolts of housing finance and development; housing finance and development for the expert; case studies and success stories; legislative advocacy; community organizing; and new tools for accessing funding opportunities.
