Hello,
I'd like to invite you to join for a labor celebration in advance of May Day. We will be havinga cookout and hearing from some strong local labor voices. One of the panelists will be Robert
Struckman, AFL-CIO Senior Western Field Rep, who is working with other communities inMontana to build housing utilizing the Housing Investment Trust.
When thinking about community development and workforce housing, we must think about
building quality housing that is built to last as well as creating jobs that actually pay liveablewages. Whenever someone goes to the lower bidder for an affordable housing project, they are
actually exacerbating the problem while claiming to alleviate it if all of the workers on theproject are not getting paid enough to be able to live there.
Hope to see some of you there!
