I attended the 18th Annual Southern California Association of Non-Profit Housing (SCANPH) Housing Conference, held in Downtown Los Angeles. At the conference, affordable housing advocates from across the region gather to participate in workshops, discover resources, and discuss how we can move the state towards a broader affordable housing agenda. The conference also served as the setting for the 2006 SCANPH Affordable Housing Awards. This year, Gateways Housing, which I have blogged about in this space before was awarded project of the year. Congratulations to the developer, A Community of Friends, and all of those community and city advocates that made this project a reality
