Housing Equity Action Team (HEAT) to meet today, September 9 at Noon
HEAT is a team within the Wilsonville Alliance that works on advancing housing equity in Wilsonville. For more information on housing inequality in Wilsonville, please read the WAIC statement on equitable housing. We are working to address the following gaps:
The need for affordable, multi-room homes to support multi-generational housing, especially for Black, Latino, Indigenous, and people who identify or are perceived as a racial minority
Single-parent homes and their need for affordable housing that is connected to jobs, transit, and services
Low or fixed-income individuals and families, and their need for homeownership
People in need of emergency, transitional, or supportive housing
WAIC gathering and business meeting on September 21 at 7 pm at Clackamas Community College
We will be starting up routine meetings, bi-monthly on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. The first hour is time for connection with a diversity, equity, or inclusion practice, followed by a WAIC business meeting.
Location: Clackamas Community College - Wilsonville (Conference Room W207) - 29353 SW Town Center Loop E, Wilsonville, OR 97070
One of our main goals for 2022 will be to fill and confirm WAIC positions (Co-Chair, Secretary, and Inclusion Process Officer) so that we can have a five-person board.
Please reach out to us (connect@wilsonvillealliance.org) with any questions or offers to help us get WAIC up and running in a successful, inclusive way.
