Housing Justice Values
Shared values, beliefs, and priorities centering housing justice, as together, we work toward building Beloved Community in Germantown 

A visually inspiring printed version is currently being worked on by a local graphic designer. We look forward to sharing it with you soon!

A committee meets to come up with ways to address housing, displacement, and gentrification. We've hosted a Gentrification and Displacement Teach-In, a Tangled Title Clinic, and discussions about ways the community can prevent displacement.

 

The committee meets fairly regularly and is open to new members. No experience in organizing or housing work is required! But any of these skills are helpful:

- long history of lived experience in Germantown

- talking to people

- ability to share personal experience with housing challenges,

- awareness of bias against renters,

- distributing information by foot,

- sharing info on social media,

- problem-solving and thinking creatively,

- bringing different people’s ideas together,

- knowledge of development in Germantown,

- or connecting neighbors to resources and info.

 

We also run learning circles so that we can learn collectively, analyze problems, and build a strategy.

​

In February 2022, Webb and Lindsay from the Housing Committee were interviewed on the Info Hub Radio Hour to discuss the learning circle. Listen in here.
