CONFERENCE CANCELLATION POLICY

Cancellations received by Friday, November 13 will be refunded, minus a $25 processing fee. We regret that cancellations received after that date, regardless of reason, cannot be refunded due to confirmation of meals and hotel costs.

In the unlikely event of the cancellation of the conference, the Housing Alliance of PA’s liability is limited to refund of registration fees, and does not include penalty fees on travel tickets, deposits for hotel accommodations, or any other incurred expenses.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Many worthy organizations have limited training resources. The Housing Alliance will provide a limited number of half-price scholarships to staff, volunteers and consumers of organizations addressing affordable housing and homelessness who would benefit from the conference but are unable to cover the whole cost. Priority will be given to small-budget organizations, especially those in small communities. Scholarships will be granted to no more than one representative of an organization. Unfortunately, scholarships are not available for staff of public housing or redevelopment authorities.

ONLY written applications for scholarships will be considered. Please submit a completed registration form with a one-sentence organizational description and a request of 200 words or less explaining why you need a scholarship and how your organization will benefit. (Please see the Registration pages for instructions on printing a copy of your registration form.) 

Scholarship requests must be received by Friday, November 13, 2009 to be considered. Send via email to joanna@housingalliancepa.org, mail to Housing Alliance of PA, 710 5th Ave., Suite 1000, Pittsburgh, PA 15219 or fax to 412-281-9987. Applicants will be informed of results by Friday, November 27, 2009.

Scholarships are available only for conference registration fee, not travel and hotel. We urge you to make hotel reservations by Wednesday, November 18, 2009 to get the reduced rate. Hotel reservations can be cancelled at no cost up to 24 hours before scheduled check-in.
