May 9, 2008: “Reframing Affordable Homes” Housing California 2008 Annual Conference

CRC was proud to join hundreds of housing advocates, legal service providers, mortgage counselors, housing developers, and lenders for Housing California’s 29th Annual Conference at the Sacramento Convention Center April 28-30, 2008.

Associate Director Kevin Stein presented in a workshop entitled "Fending Off Foreclosures" with Gabe del Rio of Community HousingWorks in San Diego and Connie der Torrosian of Fair Housing Council of Orange County.

 An important highlight of the conference was learning about two important initiatives on the June 2008 Ballot: Proposition 98, “the Hidden Agendas Scheme” and Proposition 99, “the Homeowners Protection Act.”

If passed, Prop 98 would eliminate rent control, affordable housing and other renter protection laws. It would also threaten water quality and supply, hurt the environment and stop regulations that protect our neighborhoods. Prop 99 will prohibit the government from using eminent domain to take a home to transfer to a private developer.
