Come to UC Berkeley on October 1st, 2004 for the second west coast meeting of the Housing Statistics Users Group–HSUG-West! (HSUG is Housing Statistics Users Group.)

This year we feature presentations on California population projections and housing needs; the NKCA (Neighborhood Knowledge California) GIS system for Census 2000 data; the American Community Survey and how it will change your life; CHAS data and the latest on American Housing Survey data and Knowledgeplex. Your favorite experts will talk about new methods for determining the potential for infill in a local area as well as advise us about data sources to monitor performance. We conclude with a panel of experts from California and the Pacific Northwest on benchmarking the impact of fees and growth management tools on the costs, supply and affordability of local housing market rate and low income.

You should attend HSUG-West if you are a housing data maven or housing planner in local or regional government or you have an interest in new methods and data sources for local housing planning and performance monitoring. HSUG-West is sponsored by the Fannie Mae Foundation; the Department of City & Regional Planning, the Institute of Urban and Regional Development, and the Berkeley Program on Housing and the Urban Policy (all at UC Berkeley)and KnowledgePlex. Attendance is free, but space is limited so registration is required.
