Kaslo Affordable Housing Forum
The housing forum on October 20th was a successful event. An affordable housing stewardship committee was formed consisting of Andy Shadrack or appointed Area D representative.
Tony Frary: Village of Kaslo
Suzan Hewat; Village of Kaslo
Kaslo Housing Society
North Kootenay Lake Community Services Society

And we want to approach:
A real estate agent
A builder
The Kootenay Savings Credit Union
A designer
And other professionals such as lawyers, planners etc.
The analysis of the survey results by Romella S. Gloriosa of Gloriosa, Moss & Associates is available: Kaslo and Area D Housing Needs Assessment. Please note that after the report was prepared approximately 70 more surveys were returned. They are not included in this analysis though the responses have been added to our raw data.
Some of the PowerPoint presentations from the forum are available here:
Romella Glorioso, International Amenity Migration Centre - Kaslo Survey Results and Bylaws and Zoning for Affordable Housing
Cinders Cedar Woodworks
Tim Wake, Affordable Housing Consultant - Ownership and Govenance Models and Financial Arrangements

Agenda for the afternoon session on October 20th, 2009
Agenda for the evening session on October 20th, 2009
CMHC was kind enough to supply funding for really useful maps of Kaslo and Area D which will be catalogued and stored at either the Village of Kaslo Office or NKLCSS depending on who has the room to store them for public access. You may access links to some CMHC material here.
We also would like to thank Johania Alvarez for all her work on the survey and Romella Glorioso for putting the presentations on her thumb drive as well as her and Cezanne's great folding of surveys.
Elizabeth Scarlett and members of NKLCSS staff assisted with numerous tasks. Good Work!
Thank you all for attending and we hope to work with you on affordable housing in the future.
