Invitation for Community Working Group

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

On Monday, July 20, 2020 City Council adopted the Affordable Housing Trust Fund Ordinance and Funding Commitments Resolution. A primary implementation goal of the Affordable Housing Trust Fund is to seat the Citizen Oversight Committee, infused with community participation.

The Community Development Division of Community Planning, Development & Innovation is seeking 7-10 community members to join an ad hoc working group to review and finalize the application and recommend interview questions for the Citizen Oversight Committee appointment process. The working group will meet 2-3 times via Zoom in December to accomplish two primary tasks. The group will review and approve the application and develop a slate of recommended interview questions. These products will be provided to the elected officials who will make Affordable Housing Citizen Oversight Committee appointments.

To avoid conflicts of interest, community members interested in joining the ad hoc working group may not apply for the Citizen Oversight Committee.

If you’re interested in participating in this working group please contact Emily Harris-Shears, by Tuesday, December 1, 2020 at 5pm. Working group members will be added in order of contact until maximum participation of ten (10) participants is reached.
