Schyla Pondexter-Moore Public Housing Organizer [email protected] (202) 234-9119 x 101 Affordable Housing Organizer Schyla Pondexter-Moore is a native Washingtonianand has lived in DC Public Housing with her four children since November 2007. Schyla became involved in community organizing when renovations – funded by both public and private sources – and forced relocations began at Highland Dwellings, the property where she resided. Schyla was angered by the situation, and began researching the practices of the District of Columbia Housing Authority. She found out that what happened at Highland Dwellings was typical of the treatment public housing residents receive from DCHA. Next, she went door-to- door and organized residents to fight back, and together they formed Highland Together We Stand. United, they were able to win changes to the relocation process that benefited tenants and filed a successful lawsuit against DCHA. The lawsuit guarantees that all 200+ residents of Highland Dwellings have the right of first refusal on the new properties, and will have the same rights as all public housing tenants (i.e.: no credit checks, no utility bills, etc.).

  • The 11Th Street Bridge Park Baseline Health Assessment
    The 11th Street Bridge Park Baseline Health Assessment Presented to: Scott Kratz, 11th Street Bridge Park Director Prepared by: Mills Wallace, MPH Loretta DiPietro, PhD MPH Milken Institute School of Public Health The George Washington University Washington, DC Funded by: The Kresge Foundation A. Executive Summary Despite Washington, DC being the capital of the United States, the differences between the city’s eight geographic wards in education, income, and public resources are noteworthy. The 11th Street Bridge Park is unique in that it will link one of the more affluent regions of DC (Ward 6) to the lowest income region of the city (Ward 8). Building Bridges across the River (BBAR) at THEARC is a non-profit agency housed in Congress Heights that oversees the 11th Street Bridge Park in achieving the following primary goals: 1) build a healthy community in the neighborhoods surrounding the Bridge Park; 2) restore health to the Anacostia River; 3) enhance connection between the Ward 6 and Ward 8 communities; and 4) become an anchor for equitable and inclusive economic development in the surrounding communities. In that regard, BBAR formed three primary groups associated with the Bridge Park: 1) a Design Oversight Committee to inform a nation-wide design competition; 2) an Arts and Culture Committee to shape on-going programming; and 3) an Equitable Development Task Force to ensure nearby residents can continuously benefit from this new civic space. Each committee is comprised of local residents, business owners, government representatives, and faith communities. The Director of the 11th Street Bridge Park is Scott Kratz.
