Mark your calendar and plan to join your colleagues from around the region on Thursday, December 3 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for a free one-day forum on employer-assisted housing (EAH) hosted by the National Association of REALTORS® and the National Housing Conference.
EAH is often described as a win-win-win tool because employers, employees and the community each benefit. As the nation continues to seek solutions to the housing crisis facing our country, EAH presents itself as one tool, among many, to help working families live in an affordable home near their workplace. EAH also helps to attract and retain productive, stable workforces and revitalize neighborhoods.
Join us at the Boise Centre (850 W. Front Street) for this one-day event to learn how you can be a part of a solution! Here is just a sampling of what the program will cover:
· Learn how to create and sustain an EAH program in your community.
· Understand the importance of advancing EAH through local and regional partnerships.
· Explore workforce housing issues from the perspective of employers.
· Hear from other practitioners and advocates managing successful EAH strategies.
You won’t want to miss this opportunity to learn from workforce housing experts, connect with your peers from the region, and share your story in a dynamic learning environment!
