Task:This group will research online housing locators; the feasibility, the possibilities, the cost, the scope of the problem and the possible solutions. Many other states already provide this service. This workgroup will explore what has been done, what we might want and whether is is possible for Montana.

Next workgroup meeting: January 9, 2008 at 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Where: Large Conference Room, Room 228, Commerce Building, 301 S. Park Avenue, Helena

Remember to request a Conference Call connection, if you need one.

Planned topics: Discuss the demonstration that we received from socialserve.com, pros and cons. Discuss financial obligations. Discuss "wish list" of features to potentially include on our housing locator website.
