CNDC's Housing Committee, made
up of members with
practical experience in housing development, works
to identify and solve critical housing issues that affect our neighborhoods.
The committee helps produce and maintain a variety of housing choices
for Cleveland residents by assessing existing programs, exploring new
options and sharing ideas.
The Housing Committee meets every other month, on the fourth Wednesday. For further information and how to become a member, contact Lynn Friedel
