Our May Webinar: Voter Attitudes Toward Taxes and Reform of Proposition 13
TUESDAY, MAY 20
12:00 PM NOON ONLINE
www.scanph.org/webinar Join us for our special May, 2014 Webinar, "Voter Attitudes Toward Taxes and Reform of Proposition 13."
In this presentation we examine the responses of California voters who were surveyed on their attitudes toward taxes and reform of Proposition 13. Faculty and researchers who conducted the survey will present their results on the adequacy of state funding levels for a host of public goods and services including, but not limited to, housing for the elderly, military veterans, and low income working families.
They will then present the results of this survey on the voter threshold, the fairness of Proposition 13, and potential initiatives that would modify existing methods of assessing commercial property. Throughout their analysis, they will incorporate the influence of demographic variables (e.g., age, home ownership, political party) on attitudes toward taxes and tax reform.
This study was conducted for Housing California by Sociology faculty and student researchers at California State University, East Bay. Authors of "Voter Attitudes Toward Taxes and Reform of Proposition 13" are Myrel Fulgencio, Ha Hoang, Ann Marie Ramos, Jerry Wallace, Olga Von Gauzner. Under the supervision of Carl Stempel, PhD, Patricia K. Jennings, PhD, and Susan Ingram, MA.

LA CDC Architects Forum
THURSDAY, MAY 29
10:00 AM to 12:00 PM NOON
700 West Main Street
Alhambra, CA 91801
PLEASE NOTE: This forum is for architects or architectural practitioners only. This fall, the Community Development Commission (CDC) of the County of Los Angeles plans to release its Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Affordable Multifamily Rental Housing, Round 20. The NOFA contains detailed architectural design criteria that cover minimum design and construction standards, including requirements for Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, sustainable building methods, and accessibility features, among others. SCANPH is hosting an architect's forum to solicit input from architectural practitioners in the multifamily affordable housing field, which the CDC can use to inform a potential update of the agency's NOFA design criteria.
This will be a discussion-oriented event, which will include the following topics:
* Trends in the multi-family/special needs residential industry that might impact CDC's existing design and sustainability guidelines
* Consideration of energy and water efficiency incentives - an expanded menu for sustainability features * Unit, room, and storage size standards * CDC vs. TCAC requirements * Energy Star
In advance of the forum, please review the CDC's architectural design criteria here, Appendix 7 (p. 282-314).
Parking and a continental breakfast will be provided on-site.
