Housing Matters for a Sustainable Greensboro, the theme of the 2010 Housing Summit, will build partnerships and inspire action for great neighborhoods. Greensboro Neighborhood Congress is a partner in the Summit and Guilford Nonprofit Consortium is helping to make this huge event successful.
Washington is now focusing on sustainable housing and communities: investment in affordable homes, energy-efficiency, transportation, job creation, and safe neighborhoods. Since Greensboro is ahead of most cities in this, HUD is sending its TOP sustainability advisor, Shelly Poticha, to be the keynote speaker at the Summit. YOUR voice is needed in the Summit table discussions as the City of Greensboro writes our five year plan for sustainable housing and communities.
Hear from state and local experts on energy, homeless prevention, foreclosures, and fair housing; see Greensboro's latest healthy homes video; look at ways that we can connect neighborhoods to opportunities. Celebrate outstanding accomplishments as three individuals/groups receive awards.
The Summit will be Tuesday, February 23, 8:30-1:30, at the Greensboro Coliseum. Registration is required by February 16. You can register online at www.guilfordnonprofits.org/calendar/index.php through the Guilford Nonprofit Consortium. To assure that EVERYONE can attend, scholarships are available thanks to the City of Greensboro and Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro; call 373-2723 for scholarship information.
Please invite your neighbors to attend the Summit with you--for communities to be sustainable, all of our ideas and efforts are needed. And we want to show Shelly and the state leaders that Greensboro is the place that everyone can look to for the best ways to reach our goals.
