State Housing Services Providers Invited To Annual ‘Heads-Up’ Conference

By

Those who provide housing services to seniors, people with disabilities and low-income families are invited to the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency’s 2014 Housing Services Conference, to be held at the Scranton Hilton and Conference June 18-20.

The housing services field includes service coordinators, property managers and representatives with community based organizations. PHFA developed this annual conference to encourage continuing education opportunities for housing services professionals in the state.

“As our population ages in Pennsylvania, there’s going to be increasing demand for the assistance provided by housing services professionals so that people can avoid institutional housing and, instead, continue to pursue productive, independent lives,” said Brian A. Hudson Sr., PHFA’s executive director and CEO.

Hudson said the conference will cover the latest trends in the profession and offer new ideas. This year’s conference plays off Scranton’s well-known identity as the Electric City with the theme: “Watts Up: Energize Lives, Recharge Spirits, Generate Community.”

The conference will provide 34 educational sessions, three keynote speakers, and a special evening networking event. A popular regular feature of the conference is the best practices showcase of innovative solutions for better connecting housing services providers with their communities.

A new feature called “Watt’s Cooking in PA” will invite attendees to share their favorite healthy recipes. A cookbook of these recipes will be printed and then provided to conference attendees.

For more information about the conference’s educational sessions and costs, and to register, see www.PHFA.org/hsc. Information also is available by contacting PHFA’s Housing Services Department at 717.780.4353 or housingservices@phfa.org. The last day to register is May 30.

The Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency works to provide affordable home ownership and rental housing options for older adults, low- and moderate-income families, and people with special housing needs.
