Subject: City Inclusionary Housing Passes!  Clean Streets hearing June 19; CPHA staff openings

   
          
      
      Christine,
  On Monday evening, CPHA and our many allies won a major victory when the City Council approved a new inclusionary housing policy for Baltimore!  Now that demand for homes in Baltimore is increasing, this bill says we are going to chart a new course.  We are not going to allow the supply of new homes to be limited to prices of $300,000 and above, pushing lower-income, long-time residents to the most distressed areas of the city.  Rather, the bill establishes a framework to ensure a supply of homes at all income levels in developments of 30 or more homes.  That way the doctor, the nurse, and the home health aide -- the principal, teacher, and school custodian can all benefit from Baltimore's resurgence.
  Click here for more information on this historic bill and the impressive coalition that brought it about.  Thanks also goes to lead bill sponsor Councilman Bernard "Jack" Young, Mayor Sheila Dixon, Council President Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, and Land Use Committee Chair Ed Reisinger for their leadership in passing the bill on an expedited timetable.
  The next step in CPHA's Baltimore City agenda is keeping the belongings of evicted tenants in their hands and off our neighborhood streets.  Right now evictions clutter our streets more than 7,000 times each year, consuming more than $800,000 in taxpayer money to clean up.  On Tuesday, June 19, at 4:00 pm, City Councilman Kenneth N. Harris, Sr. will hold a committee hearing on the "Clean Streets" bill, sponsored by him and other councilmembers, that would stop this embarrassing and wasteful practice.  Please let me know if you can attend this crucial hearing!  You can also click here for more information and to urge your elected officials to support the bill.
  CPHA also has two key open staff positions for our metropolitan-wide work on transportation and drug treatment.  If you or someone you know is interested, please follow the links for the announcements for our Transportation Director and Drug Treatment Organizer positions.  
  Finally, thanks to you and everyone who made our 65th Anniversary Celebration in April such a success.  Our executive director Michael Sarbanes is on temporary leave, but, on behalf of the CPHA board and staff, we very much appreciate the outpouring of support that made it such a special celebration of CPHA's past and future.  Working with you, we are looking forward to CPHA's next 65 years of informed citizen action!
  Dan Pontious, Acting Executive Director
