I am reposting Advisory Neighborhood Commission 4B’s call for applicants for the Commission’s new Housing Justice Committee. The chair of the committee wants to make sure that the committee is representative of the entire ANC. To that end, they are especially interested in receiving applications from residents in Riggs Park on the Ward 4 side of the community (Single Member Districts 4B08 and 4B09).

The resolution establishing the committee describes the committee’s work as follows:

The Committee’s work shall include (1) considering proposed developments within the Commission’s boundaries for purposes of determining how best to maximize affordable housing, including deeply affordable housing; (2) analyzing and providing feedback on proposed legislation and policy affecting affordable housing and homelessness with a goal of increasing and expanding deeply affordable housing; and (3) hosting and supporting educational events on topics related to affordable housing and homelessness.

Below is the initial call for applications with information about how to apply. The application deadline is August 31, 2020.
