Redevelopment = Gentrification? Pt. 3 "Affordable Housing"

No matter where you live in the District, many people have a negative reaction when they hear the term “affordable housing” especially as it relates to their own neighborhood. Is there a difference between low-income, public, subsidized, and affordable housing? Do you feel there is too much affordable housing, or not enough?

You are invited to join r.e.e.l. for a interactive roundtable discussion on affordable housing. Learn about the current trends in the District's housing market, who is affected and how. We want to know what affordable housing really means and examine whether it is important and needed in the development of our communities.

When: Monday October 28th
Time: 7pm
Where: Anacostia Library - 1800 Good Hope Rd., SE (Ora L. Glover Community Room)

Redevelopment = Gentrification? (Vibrant Retail)

Redevelopment = Gentrification?

Part 2

Hi All,

What is it going to take to have vibrant retail East of the River? Meeting after meeting, it has been stated that we want to be able to eat, shop and live in our own community? However, the big questions are "How are we going to get there and how are we going to be able to participate in these changes?"

r.e.e.l. is still asking if Redevelopment = Gentrification? Join us this WEDNESDAY April 17th for Part 2 of this discussion as we continue to search for answers.

We have invited an esteemed panel of business owners, developers and market analyst to discuss what is needed for vibrant retail and the lessons they have learned when neighborhoods are redeveloped. We want to help prepare our community for the FUTURE!
