and Community Development Training!
April
30, 2004-- The NeighborWorks Institute being held in Minneapolis,
May 3-7, 2004 will break all attendance records with more than
1,500 registrants -- including 180-plus participating in a community
organizer symposium. In addition to unparalleled educational opportunities
in community development, the weeks activities will include a
NeighborWorks Symposium on Multifamily Excellence: Changing Minds,
Building Communities: Advancing Affordable Housing Through Communications
Campaigns.
The Institute will also offer for the second time a Native American
Community Development Training Program. The development of this
cutting-edge program, made possible by a generous grant from Wells
Fargo Home Mortgage through its Wells Fargo Housing Foundation,
as well as contributions from our other distinguished partners,
is specifically designed to serve the community development needs
of Native communities. The grant from Wells Fargo Housing Foundation
allows Neighborhood Reinvestment to provide full scholarships
to participants. More.
Year-round, the Minneapolis-St. Paul area is home to a remarkable
amount of community development and affordable housing work in
low- to moderate-income communities. Five NeighborWorks organizations
are located in the area, and together, they are impacting their
communities in a big way. The services they offer range from first-time
homebuyer assistance to postpurchase counseling and financial-literacy
training. Each organization tailors its services to the needs
of its specific community. View
