Events: Monday, May 10th Clackamas County Session for Seniors on Affordable Housing, Transit, and Land Use.

Ellen Johnson, from Housing Land Advocates sent a note recently about the first in a series of efforts to connect seniors with affordable housing, transit and land use issues.

First session is Monday May 10th; event flyer, including registration information, is HERE. (As part of event, they are offering free lunch/raffle).

From Ellen:

HLA has worked with a group of graduate students in the Urban Planning Department at PSU to prepare this training. The May 6 training in Clackamas County will be their initial role out of the training.
HLA hopes to partner with AARP and conduct several more trainings this calendar year within the METRO area and in eastern Oregon during 2011. HLA hopes to increase the number of people who understand the issues involved in affordable housing and land use and, as a result, to encourage participation in the planning process for affordable housing.
