Housing California's "Creating Community" conference focuses on affordable homes -- including homes with services ("supportive homes") -- for the mental health and homeless communities. Through discussion and interactive presentations, Creating Community 2008: Planting Ideas, Growing Solutions will bring together policymakers, service providers, and advocates from different disciplines and strengthen alliances between the mental health, law enforcement, hospital, homeless, and affordable-home communities.
