26th Annual Fair Lending & Vital Communities
Conference
Event Overview |
At this year’s November conference our first speaker, Glenn Coyne, Executive Director of the Cuyahoga County Planning Commission, will presented data that has been collected to inform the first-ever County Housing Plan, and Ken Surratt, Deputy Director of Housing and Community Development discussed rough outlines of the plan. Speakers on three subsequent panels--on the First Suburbs, the City of Cleveland and Affordable Housing-- clarified current community needs and discussed some of the existing and proposed programming designed to address those needs. A final afternoon panel will focus on fair lending issues.
Our Keynote lunchtime speaker was Michigan Congressman Dan Kildee. Now in his second term in Congress, Kildee previously was co-founder and president of The Center for Community Progress, a national non-profit organization, where he served as one of the nation’s leading voices on urban land reform and revitalization. He founded Michigan’s first land bank – the Genesee County Land Bank –which has been responsible for over $100 million in redevelopment in the city of Flint. The Genesee County Land Bank has served as a model for almost 100 other land banks across the nation, including Cleveland’s Land Bank. |
