Columbus, Ohio Field Hearing
The Commission on Affordable Housing and Health Facility Needs for Seniors in the 21st Century held its second field hearing at the Ohio Statehouse on September 24, 2001. The hearing was sponsored by the Association of Ohio Philanthropic Homes, Housing, and Services for the Aging and the Ohio Department of Aging. Congressman Patrick Tiberi (R-OH) joined the Commission for the opening session. The second field hearing follows the Commission's July field hearing Syracuse, New York. The Commission has chosen to address elements of its seven-point mandate at each field hearing. The focus at Columbus was financing strategies. The next field hearing will be November 7, 2001 at the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina and will be hosted by the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging in conjunction with its 40th Annual Meeting.
