Save the Date for Fall
Conference |
The Federation's 18th Annual Conference, will be
held Thursday, October 15, 2009 in a
new location -- the Marina Village Conference Center on
Mission Bay. By moving the conference location and date
to a Thursday, we will be able to offer more
networking/exhibit time between sessions, better access
to exhibits, and include an end-of-day networking
reception for participants and speakers.
The recently refurbished Marina Village facility
provides a combination of indoor and outdoor space
along the Quivara Basin marina at Mission Bay.
A beautiful natural environment has been one
of the highlights of prior conferences. Mark your
calendars for this important date and watch for notices
of conference submission proposals coming very soon.
If you would like to participate on the conference
planning committee, please email Kelley Dukat at kelley@housingsandiego.org. The
committee's first meeting is Thursday
morning. |

Board Opposes
Redevelopment Grab |
The joint Budget Conference Committee finished
their budget work this week to bridge the projected $24
billion gap. The Governor immediately announced he
would veto it because of the inclusion of some tax
increases. The Legislature's Budget Conferees voted to
take $1.05 billion over the next three years from
redevelopment agencies throughout the state, rejected
the administration's proposal for use of federal
Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds, and
deleted the $4 million in Emergency Housing Assistance
Program (EHAP) funds restored by the Assembly. The
conferees took the redevelopment funds despite the CA
Redevelopment Association's successful challenge earlier
this year of the Legislature's past redevelopment fund
grabs for purposes other than what redevelopment law
allows. The committee approved "budget language" that
was represented as a resolution of the lawsuit. This
week the SDHF Board voted to oppose the State's action
on redevelopment funds even though the grab will not
come from the 20% affordable housing set
aside. | |
