Environmental Justice Task Force
Approved November 2008, the Environmental Justice Task Force is the newest
addition to LAC's issue work. The EJTF has focused on the implementation
of weatherization projects in our local Section 8 buildings. We are also
researching how we might improve access to green jobs in Lakeview.
Our new environmental justice organizer will begin in September.
Until then, if you want more information or to get involved, contact
Jennifer Ritter.

Leaders from the Environmental Justice Task Force ask CEDA Weatherization Program Director, John Hamilton, to go beyond bringing federal weatherization dollars to Section 8 buildings, but to work with the task force to use the funds to guarantee extended affordability for those units. |
