SAVE & IMPROVE PUBLIC HOUSING! Rally and Hearing
Wednesday, April 30, 2014
12:00 Noon
Wilson Building, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Metro Center/Federal Triangle Station
Did you know that:
-
There is ZERO $$$ In the DC Budget for PUBLIC HOUSING?
-
There are HUNDREDS of units sitting VACANT while over 800 DC families are HOMELESS?
-
There are over 70,000 people on the waiting list, but DC is DEMOLISHING UNITS?
-
The "replacement" units are NOT public housing & most residents don't qualify!
Join Empower DC to demand DC:
- Renovate vacant units for homeless families!
- Fund & complete needed repairs!
- Stop demolishing public housing!
We will rally outside, then pack the budget hearing for DCHA & support residents who will testify! If you want to testify, sign up by calling Kate at (202) 724-8198.
