Land Use and Housing Committee Program, 2024-2025
- Advocate for local zoning reform in harmony with established local, state, and national League positions and criteria on housing.
- Stay informed of local land use and housing proposals, be prepared to make comments, ask questions, support, or oppose according to LWV positions.
- Examine and work with the state League to support state level housing and zoning legislation.
- Advocate for federal, state and local public funding to develop housing for very low and extremely low income families. The housing should include services which will enable the families over a period of years to achieve economic self-sufficiency. Those services should be provided by persons trained in mentoring and counseling and should include (but not be limited to) increased access to health care and childcare; access to transportation; basic or remedial education and job training; and financial literacy training.
