“Community conversation on housing”, Thursday
Threshold 2009 will be holding a "Community Conversation" about housing on the coast scheduled for Thursday, October 15 from 6 to 9pm, at the Train Depot, 110 Higgins Canyon Road, Half Moon Bay.
Bring Your Thoughts, Ideas to a Community Conversation on Housing
Every day, news headlines confirm what we all know ~ housing matters! In fact, the quality of life in our community is directly linked to how we address the challenge of providing homes to people who work and grow up here. If you live or work in Redwood City, Threshold 2009 invite you to join a Community Conversation on long-term housing solutions in San Mateo County. This is part of an ongoing campaign to welcome all perspectives to the table and build a public voice for housing solutions. This is an opportunity to increase understanding, exchange perspectives, and express your views on county-wide housing choices.
According to their website: "Threshold 2009 was formed to engage the public on housing issues and options in San Mateo County in order to ensure a better long-term quality of life for all who are affected by our housing choices. "
