Housing is a human right and every DC resident has the right to a safe, clean and stable place to live. After leaving the city’s housing crisis solely to private developers for decades, working families have been pushed out of DC or faced higher housing costs so developers and private investors can make more profits. Popularized in Vienna, social housing allows cities like DC to build, manage, and grow a stock of mixed-income, publicly-owned housing. Moreover, by creating a public option for housing, we’ll drive down rents in private market housing, benefiting everyone.

Come learn about the housing problem, why public housing is an essential policy to address it, what the Green New Deal for DC campaign is all about, and how to get involved in the fight.
