Dear Jonathan,
Right now, the City of Alexandria is updating its Housing Master Plan — a roadmap that will shape housing policies for years to come. Yet, African residents, many of whom are facing rising rents and limited protections, risk being left out of the conversation.
At African Communities Together (ACT), we're launching a campaign to change that — and we need you with us.
Here's what we're fighting for:
- More affordable housing that reflects our community's needs
- Fairer, more accessible rental assistance programs
- Stronger tenant protections so families aren't left vulnerable
We're also working to build deeper engagement between African residents and city officials — because our lived experiences matter and should be reflected in the Housing Master Plan.
