We also notify members of public hearings that they might otherwise not hear about. We share information gleaned from public hearings we attend, budget documents, and D.C. Council Committee reports. Your voice is amplified by joining with other members to speak with one voice. The Coalition forms panels to testify at DHCD and D.C. Council hearings. Joint testimony adds strength to our message and enhances each organization's voice.
Members save money on training.
The Committee is responsible for developing a policy agenda and educational materials related to affordable housing. The Program and Communications Committee plans and schedules guest speakers, special events, and develops a communications strategy for the Coalition that raises its visibility.
