This Just In from MassHousing's TAP

It is not too late to register for the Aging with Dignity Conference on June 8 at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester. This important conference presents a comprehensive look at the critically important issue of substance use in older adults through a variety of workshops and presentations on topics such as alcohol, medications, smoking, gambling and mental-health related issues.
     The fee is $45.00 and includes CEUs for numerous professional disciplines. For more information click on the below link or contact AdCare Educational Institute at 508-752-7313.  http://guest.cvent.com/EVENTS/Info/Summary.aspx?e=45605631-3d12-4d9d-b56d-f8371d435832

     It seems like an interesting conference for their Housing Colleagues. It could be even more interesting if TAP could hold a conference on the critically important issues of fraud, drugs and money laundering.  Another interesting conference might be 'When Children Witness Violence on HUD properties'.
     ON ANOTHER NOTE, a multiple page notice was hung by the building doors at Rockland Place dba SpringGate for another request to raise rents due to increased utility costs.  The meeting will be held at 5:30pm on May 25, 2010 at the Community Room, 52 Hannah Way, Rockland, MA.
     To save money on utilities, Spring Gate's management really could stop providing a FREE place of residence for those NOT LISTED on occupancy agreements, especially when they have a criminal history and/or a steady source of income.  Live-ins who flush toilets, take showers, and use electricity, along with the continued operation of a self-storage facility, etc. from subsidized apartments, causes an unnecessary and unfair expense for legitimate tenants and taxpayers!
