WATERTOWN PUBLIC OPINION. The Sanders Institute announced their inaugural conference, , late last week. Scheduled to be held in Burlington, Vermont, from Thursday, November 29th through Saturday, December 1st, 2018, the array of speakers come from both the national and international progressive community.

Among the participants will be AIDS Healthcare Foundation ( AHF ) and several AHF officials. In late 2017, AHF launched the Healthy Housing Foundation (HHF), part of a community-based effort to address the exploding housing and homelessness crisis in Los Angeles and elsewhere in the U.S. Since then, the Healthy Housing Foundation has purchased three underutilized single-room-occupancy hotels (SROs) on Skid Row in Los Angeles and a motel in Hollywood, adaptively reusing and repurposing the buildings as nearly 600 housing units for homeless and/or extremely low-income individuals. HHF is also well underway with design and planning a newly built 680-unit affordable housing tower in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
