Input from residents is set to play a key role in a report on the state of fair housing in the District being compiled in order to comply with federal mandates that local governments combat historical patterns of segregation and crack down on illegal discrimination.
The DC Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) held meetings across the city in late April and early May where community members shared their experiences and concerns surrounding affordability, legal protections for renters, and similar issues. Another meeting is scheduled for tonight from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in Ward 5 at Lamond-Riggs Neighborhood Library, with sessions in wards 2 and 7 still being scheduled.
