Workshop: Housing Affordability #2
Dear 22202 Resident,
We invite you to join your neighbors on Saturday March 7th at Calvary Methodist Church on S. 23rd St. to determine the 22202 agenda for housing.
This workshop, which is part of the 22202 Livability Initiative, is the second of two workshops led by and for community members wishing to better understand and influence the issue of housing affordability. Given both Amazon’s arrival and pre-existing trends, as well as ongoing county and state policy initiatives, housing is changing fast and our voices need to be part of the discussion.
The first workshop, a summary of which is available here, focused on working through issues of housing barriers and neighborhood values. Participants in this second workshop, who need not have attended the first, will learn about the tools available to address housing issues and coalesce around which ones we wish to advocate for. We will hear from experts, such as representatives from JBG, Arlington County and the Alliance for Housing Solutions, and then work together to find common ground.
Registration will begin at 1:45 pm and the workshop will start promptly at 2 pm and run to 5:30pm. It will be held at Calvary Methodist Church, 2315 S Grant St.
Please contact Ben D’Avanzo (bendavanzo@gmail.com), Susan English (english.susan@icloud.com) or Zach Komes (zkomes@gmail.com) with any questions or feedback.
This is one of a series of workshops on Livability issues for 22202.
