Councilmember Jim Graham, Chairperson of the Committee on Human Services, announces a public oversight roundtable on the “Recommendations of the CCNV (Community for Creative Non-Violence) Task Force.”  The roundtable will be held on Tuesday, July 8, 2014, at 2:00 p.m., in Room 2-North of CCNV Shelter. 

 

In July of 2013, the DC Council unanimously approved, with the support of the Mayor, emergency legislation, that created the CCNV Task Force (Task Force).  Councilmember Jim Graham authored the CCNV Task Force legislation.  The Task Force was charged with exploring options for the future use of the District-owned shelter facility at 425 2^nd Street NW and the adjacent properties owned by CCNV, in order to develop recommendations for better shelter space, improved homeless services, and options for affordable workforce and transitional housing.  The Task Force was charged with submitting written recommendations to the Council and the Mayor at the conclusion of its work. 

 

The Task Force has now concluded its work and finalized a “Statement of Principles” to be used as a guide for future planning and action.  The purpose of this roundtable is to examine the Task Force document entitled “Statement of Principles” and to allow for public comment. 

 

Those who wish to testify or have questions regarding the roundtable should contact Malcolm Cameron of the Committee on Human Services by e-mail at [e-mail] or by telephone at [phone].  E-mail contacts to Mr. Cameron should include the residential ward, full name, title, and affiliation -- if applicable -- of the person(s) testifying.  Witnesses should bring 15 copies of their testimony to the roundtable.  Representatives of organizations will be allowed a maximum of five (5) minutes for oral presentation and individuals will be allowed a maximum of three (3) minutes for oral presentation. 

 

If you are unable to testify at the roundtable, written statements are encouraged and will be made a part of the official record.  Copies of written statements should be submitted to the Committee on Human Services, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 116, Washington, D.C. 20004, no later than 6:00 p.m., Friday, July 18, 2014, when the official record will close.
