Director Colleen Green recently took the stage at the POLITICO Housing Affordability panel! 🎤
The discussion focused heavily on the next steps and real-world implementation of the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, which became law in July 2025. Director Green shared the stage with a phenomenal group of housing leaders and policymakers to discuss what it will take to drive meaningful change:
🔹 Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester (Senate Banking Committee)
🔹 Frank Cassidy (Walker & Dunlop / Former FHA Commissioner)
🔹 Adrianne Todman (National Rental Home Council / Former Acting HUD Secretary)
🔹 Dennis Shea (Bipartisan Policy Center)
Thank you to POLITICO for hosting these critical conversations on the future of affordable housing.

🌟Intern Spotlight: Driving Real Impact with Mikva Challenge DC 🌟
We are excited to highlight the incredible work of our summer intern, Remi, who joined us through the Mikva Challenge DC program. Remi has been driving critical initiatives across policy research, community outreach, and agency engagement.
Empathy-Driven Outreach: After reading “When We Walk By” by Kevin F. Adler, which explores how the unhoused population is often left out of solutions, Remi designed a 10-question community survey. This tool prioritizes the wants, needs, and desires of the unhoused. She is also coordinating key partner meetings with local providers.
Housing Policy Research: Remi recently finalized a comprehensive comparative study on Inclusionary Zoning (IZ) programs across high-cost cities, including Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, and Miami. Looking closely at income thresholds, rental vs. homeownership models, fees, and selection processes, her findings were presented directly to our IZ Manager.
Community Action: Bringing her project full circle, Remi launched a staff-wide agency food drive flyer to provide immediate, tangible support to neighbors in need.
Thank you, Remi, for your dedication to affordable housing and community advocacy in the District!
