A Learn At Lunch Webinar
Sequestration, Fiscal Cliff, Grand Bargain

What Does It All Mean for Affordable Housing?

Thursday, November 29, noon - 1pm (Pacific Time)

Join us for an important update on sequestration this Thursday. We know lawmakers in DC are working hard to resolve this issue before the end of the year, which means housing and homelessness advocates need to be prepared to take action. A deal to avoid automatic cuts shouldn’t compromise safety net programs. Join us and special guest Doug Rice, Senior Policy Analyst on housing issues from the Center On Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington, D.C. He’ll update us on what’s really going on.

Register Now!

The number of webinar participants is limited and registration is required. Questions? Email Ben Miksch or call 206.442.9455 x204.

One More Thing. There's Homework...

Doug also requests particpants prepare for this Thursday's Learn At Lunch by reading his latest blog post: For Housing Assistance Recipients, Unbalanced Budget Deal Would Be Worse Than No Deal at All.
