San Diego Field Hearing

San Diego California Field Hearing The Commission on Affordable Housing and Health Facility Needs for Seniors in the 21st Century held its third field hearing at the San Diego Marriott Hotel on Wednesday, November 7, 2001. The hearing was sponsored by the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging. The third field hearing follows the Commission's July field hearing Syracuse, New York and September hearing in Columbus, Ohio. The Commission has chosen to address elements of its seven-point mandate at each of the first three field hearings. The focus at San Diego was assessing the unmet present and future needs. The next field hearing will be January 14 at the Robert Sharp Towers in Miami, Florida and will focus on achieving better coordination of affordable housing and health services. The Miami hearing will be hosted by the Elderly Housing Development and Operations Corporation.   Photos of San Diego Hearings   San Diego Tribune Article, November 10, 2001
