Fall Housing Conference Attracts Experts to Boise Sept. 7-9

BOISE - Housing experts and advocates will gather to shape Idaho's future housing strategy at the 1997 Governor's Conference on Housing, set for September 7 – 9 in Boise. The conference theme, "Pathways, Partners, Solutions," reflects the cooperation and common direction required to create effective housing opportunities for all Idahoans.

"This conference is an opportunity to match housing needs with solutions, and to share innovative ideas so that they might be carried to completion," Gov. Batt said. "If you seek solutions to your community's housing needs, this is a good first step."

Other conference highlights include a presentation Tuesday Sept. 9 by Judith Knight, Director of Housing and Community Development for the American Banker's Association (ABA). Ms. Knight served on Capitol Hill for the House Banking Committee and worked in Government and Community Relations with Freddie Mac before joining the ABA.
