The National Housing Conference (NHC) and the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), an NHC Housing Leadership Support Program member, are partnering on a new series of four Bring Workers Home regional policy forums addressing workforce housing.  These forums will take place throughout 2010 in the following locations: Atlanta, GA; Minneapolis, MN; Austin, TX; and Honolulu, HI.

Each Bring Workers Home regional forum will explore a core set of issues including:

•    Learn how to create and sustain a workforce housing program in your community;
•    Understand the importance of advancing workforce housing through local and regional partnerships;
•    Explore workforce housing issues from the perspective of employers; and
•    Hear from other practitioners and advocates managing successful workforce housing strategies.

The Bring Workers Home forums are designed to attract a wide range of attendees, including employers and HR professionals, REALTORS®, city planners, housing and community development leaders, local elected and appointed officials, state HFA representatives, and others.

Special Opportunity -- New EAH Training Class
At each location, the regional forum will be followed on the next day by NAR’s new Employer-Assisted Housing Class. This class is designed to help REALTORS®,  and other stakeholders, work with employers so that their employees can purchase a home through the assistance of a REALTOR®, nonprofit organization and/or lender.

These forums are designed to build on the success of two NHC/NAR regional policy forums addressing employer-assisted housing held in late 2009 in Philadelphia, PA and in Boise, ID. To access resources from the 2009 forums, please click here.
