[CAH] AHANS AGM: Opportunities and Direction: The Future of Housing in Nova Scotia

[Darcy Harvey]

September 25, 2006



Greetings,



The Affordable Housing Association of Nova Scotia (AHANS) is inviting 
housing providers and advocates, representatives of government, and 
concerned citizens to attend, Opportunities and Directions: The Future of 
Housing in Nova Scotia, a day-long event planned for October 18th

in conjunction with CAH Housing Week, October 16 - 20th 2006.



AHANS will welcome Steve Pomeroy, Focus Consulting Inc. to lead the day's 
conversations that will provide the foundations of a position paper for 
AHANS. The paper will outline potential opportunities and directions for 
housing and serve as a document to stimulate broader debate across the 
association membership, with levels of government, and among all Nova 
Scotians.



Mr. Pomeroy has over 25 years of experience in policy research, strategic 
analysis, program implementation and market research.  The substantive focus 
of much of his work has been housing and urban development.  He has worked 
in the municipal level as an urban planner (1980-82) the non-profit sector 
in co-operative housing development (1983-83), and from 1984-1994 held a 
variety of senior positions with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.



He is currently completing a paper on behalf of Canadian Housing and Renewal 
Association into what Canadian finance professionals feel a housing tax 
credit program should look like.



The mission of The Affordable Housing Association of Nova Scotia (AHANS) is 
to promote and support access to decent and affordable housing throughout 
Nova Scotia. The event Opportunities and Directions: The Future of Housing 
in Nova Scotia is an opportunity for you to join AHANS and to add your 
expertise to develop a united position that represents the housing issues in 
both rural and urban Nova Scotia.  The event is also an opportunity to take 
part in the AHANS Annual General Meeting and to learn about other 
opportunities to work with colleagues to advance everyone's right to decent 
and affordable housing. Nominations for the AHANS Board are also being 
accepted.



The day's agenda is included. Please take the time to complete and submit 
the registration form to guarantee your participation in the event. The 
registration fee is $25.00 or free with an AHANS membership. Please indicate 
on the registration form if you would like to be counted as an AHANS member. 
Registration forms must be received by October 13, 2006.
