Do You Rent?
Low- and moderate-income earners who rent face an ever more difficult quest for affordable housing here in Washington as large numbers of longtime tenants are being forced out of their homes and neighborhoods.
Washington Innercity Self Help (WISH) needs your assistance in building a Citywide Tenants Action Alliance to provide a powerful voice for disenfranchised tenants. Join with your neighbors and help stem the displacement tidal wave by creating a strong citywide organization to build power to protect yourselves.
WISH will be holding its quarterly meeting on Tuesday, March 18, at 6:30 p.m. Come make your voice heard on protecting tenants’ rights at the meeting at 1419 V St. NW For more information, call WISH at 202/332-8800.
