Full Funding for Affordable Housing
The Housing Production Trust Fund (HPTF) is a District program that is used to create and preserve affordable housing for low-income and working households. In the last fiscal year, the HPTF produced more than 2,000 units of affordable housing. It is now facing cuts in its funding.
Insist that Mayor Anthony Williams and the DC City Council ensure that the principle of full dedicated funding for the HPTF is honored. Come to a rally and press conference on Saturday, April 19, at 11 a.m. hosted by the tenants' association at 1020 Monroe Ave. NW and co-sponsored by Washington Innercity Self Help (WISH), Manna, Inc., and the Alliance for Affordable Housing. For more information, call WISH at 202/332-8800.
