Even with a U.S. housing market and national economy still struggling to rebound, there are still many public and private funding opportunities for those seeking to improve or increase affordable housing opportunities in their communities.

If you’re an affordable housing manager or organization seeking funding to develop more affordable housing, you won’t want to miss "Opening the Door to Affordable Housing Funding" -- a brand-new CD Publications audio conference on Aug. 23, from 2 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. EDT.

This 75-minute event features expert grants analysts Ray Sweeney, with the continually updated online news service Federal & Foundation Assistance Monitor, and Frank Klimko, with online grant services Children & Youth Funding Report and Private Grants Alert. They'll help you discover how to more effectively tap into scores of current federal and foundation funding resources for affordable housing, and they'll offer an insightful forecast of funding still to come.

Here's just some topics they'll discuss:

• The current status of HUD funding
• Funding options from other agencies, including Agriculture, Education and Veterans Affairs;
• Why support for sustainability and housing are increasingly foundation priorities
• Which foundations or corporations are joining the effort to fund housing services;
• How to get a handle on funding opportunities in specific areas or regions;
• "Best practices" you can adapt from other communities to help your efforts;
• What’s ahead for FY’13 in terms of funding that may be approved

And so much more!

GET ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS DURING AND AFTER THE EVENT

To make sure we cover the topics of importance to you and your organization, all attendees will be invited to submit their questions in advance of the conference. Then following their presentation, both Ray and Frank will be available to answer any additional questions.

Plus, we'll be happy to address any other questions you may have for a full 30 days following the presentation.

BUT DON'T WAIT – SPACE IS LIMITED

For just $199, you and your entire staff can gather around one speakerphone and benefit from this information-packed presentation. Along with your registration, you'll receive a packet of helpful information, including live links to all of the programs and funders our speakers will cover during the event.

But, keep in mind that we limit the number of registrations to allow us enough time to address questions during the live Q&A session. So, act now while spaces are still available -- because once they're gone, they're gone!
