Cuyahoga Affordable Housing Alliance Meeting

The next meeting of the Cuyahoga Affordable Housing Alliance will take place January 7, 2013 at 1:30 p.m. at the local HUD offices.  The meeting is in the US Bank building at 1350 Euclid Ave. in the lower level.  This next meeting will be a graduate level symposium on affordable housing taught by one of the local deans of building and managing property. 

Kathy Kazol retiring director of EDEN Inc. will discuss lessons learned in the development of affordable housing.  EDEN began as a small group working to house those with a mental illness, but has grown to oversee the Shelter Plus Care program, manage the Permanent Supportive Housing projects and even owning the buildings containing homeless shelters.  She will give an overview of the growth of her organization and her hopes for the next few years.  Kazol will talk about how these deals are put together to preserve and expand affordable housing locally.  She will give an overview of her recommendations for policy changes that we could advocate in order to improve the condition for expanding affordable housing.
