Anti-Displacement Task Force

Review and recommend the specific strategies in five categories of action, which include:
1. Preserving and expanding the supply of affordable housing;
2. Controlling land for community development;
3. Preserving and growing small businesses and cultural assets;
4. Income and asset creation by providing needed services - childcare, transportation, a basic retail sector, access to health care, and employment opportunities - as a precondition for success; and
5. Financing strategies to provide community- specific ways to fund the other four categories of action. The task force will commit to a 10-month  process that will culminate in identifying sources of information that will reveal the depth of the problem in our communities, set metrics and goals, and give preliminary recommendations for displacement prevention.
