Nominations Due Monday

 
Monday is the deadline for nominations for the Federation's Annual Affordable Housing and Community Development awards.  Please don't forget to nominate those people and projects that made 2007 an outstanding year.  Categories such as the John Craven Award to a local government employee, a local government team, affordable housing advocate, special recognition, development partners might not be "top of mind" even though you know some very deserving candidates. Don't forget to nominate them, too.  This year there is a new category for Lifetime Achievement -- make sure your mentor, consultant, or hero is nominated for that category.  A typable nomination form is available  -- it will only take a few minutes to provide the recognition that is richly deserved.
 
Sponsorships are also still available.  Remember that this event is the Federation's biggest networking event of the year and one that brings the industry out to honor special achievements and to recognize those who make them happen. Call Kelley at 619-239-6693.

 
Ballots In the Mail
 
Ballots for the June 3 election are in the mail to absentee voters. The SDHF Board of Directors is urging you to vote NO on Proposition 98 and YES on Proposition 99.  These are the eminent domain initiatives that are so important for redevelopment efforts.  Among an array of other policy matters, Prop 98 would also eliminate inclusionary housing options. For more information on the initiatives, click here.
