Housing Needs for the City and Region:
Does the superheated housing market in Logan Circle contribute to
concentrated poverty in Ivy City?
A discussion with Margery Turner, Urban Institute
October 21, 2003
John A. Wilson Building
1350 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Room 412
6:30 pm, Refreshments; 7 pm, Program
A new study led by Margery Turner shows a troubling trend in the rise in
concentrated poverty in certain D.C. neighborhoods. Evidence suggests that
displacement of poor families from strong housing markets in neighborhoods
like Logan Circle might contribute to the concentration of poverty in
neighborhoods like Ivy City. What are the implications of these trends for
housing policy in the City and region? Join us for a discussion with
Margery Turner as she presents her findings and considers strategies to
address current challenges. See Housing in the Nation's Capital 2003,
prepared by the Urban Institute for the Fannie Mae Foundation at:
http://www.fanniemaefoundation.org/publications/reports/hnc/2003/hnc2003.sht
ml
This effort builds on Ms. Turner's earlier analysis on gentrification, and
how its negative consequences can be avoided if affordable housing is
preserved in areas facing high demand for homeownership. See: Leading
Indicators of Gentrification in D.C. Neighborhoods,

Shaw House Tour
Sunday, October 26, 2003, 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Shaw is much more than just the neighborhood where the new Washington
Convention Center is located. Residents, businesses, and institutions have
been working for years to renovate 100-plus-year-old buildings, turning one
of Washington's oldest neighborhoods into the place to be in Washington, DC.
Some of these outstanding architecture and interior design efforts have been
recognized with feature articles in the Washington Post and Metro Weekly.
Come discover some of DC's best-kept secrets as you visit:
· One of the oldest churches in the District, and its "secret garden."
· Three row houses that have been converted into a complex dedicated to
public service, including a remarkable chapel.
· A bed-and-breakfast in a former mortuary.
· A former run-down rooming house that now boasts marble floors and an
impressive collection of local artists' work.
· A former lumber store converted into office space, featuring lots of
elaborate woodwork and skylights.
· And other newly-renovated homes filled with surprises.
Along the way, you'll meet some of the proud homeowners, entrepreneurs,
organizations, architects, designers, and developers that are helping to make
Shaw's renaissance a reality. And also see some of the diamonds-in-the-rough
that still await restoration. Sponsored by Shaw Main Streets, Inc.
Tickets: $15.00 in advance, $20.00 on the day of the tour
To get tickets, mail a check (payable to Shaw Main Streets) to Shaw House

Washington-Area Gentrification,
a Panel Discussion with Mayor Williams
Wednesday, October 15th, 6:30-8:30pm
The City Museum, 801 K Street, NW (Mount Vernon Square)
Gentrification – the influx of high-income individuals into
previously poor neighborhoods – is one of the most important
phenomena shaping 21st-century Washington.
Yet rarely is gentrification discussed with much respect for the
complex group of forces that it represents. This panel discussion,
with experts from the fields of government, development and community
activism, aims to promote a responsible and informative public
dialogue on this contentious issue.
Panelists:
· Anthony A. Williams, Mayor of the District of Columbia
· Al Eisenberg, former chair of the Arlington County Board,
current Vice
President for Government relations at the Washington Board of Trade
and
candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates
· Jim Abdo, president of Abdo Development, a builder of luxury
urban homes in
Washington's Dupont, Logan Circle and Capitol Hill neighborhoods
· Maria Maldonado, Director of Housing Programs at Casa of
Maryland, an activist
organization for Maryland's Latino communities
Erik Wemple, editor-in-chief of Washington City Paper and frequent
guest on
WAMU's Kojo Nnamdi Show, will moderate the discussion.
The event is hosted by the City Museum; The Next American City (a new
magazine
of urban affairs); the Loeb Fellowship of Harvard; and the Washington
City
Paper. It is free with museum admission: $3 adults, $2 students and
seniors.
About the City Museum of Washington, D.C.
Located in the historic Carnegie Library building, the City Museum of
Washington, D.C. is the only museum dedicated solely to the history
of the nation's capital. The City Museum features a groundbreaking
multimedia show entitled, "Washington Stories;" changing exhibits
currently featuring: "Sandlots to Stadiums: A History of Sports in
Washington, D.C.," and "Taking a Closer Look: Images from the Albert
Small Collection;" an archaeology lab (opening October 2003); and a
D.C. visitor information center. It is managed by the Historical
Society of Washington, D.C. The City Museum is located at 801 K
Street, NW. For more information call (202) 383-1800 or visit
www.citymuseumdc.org.
About The Next American City
This new national magazine asks, "Where will we go from here?" In a
rapidly changing urban landscape, how can businesses and developers
thrive? How can cities and suburbs expand their economies? And how
can our society successfully address social and environmental
challenges? The Next American City answers these questions with
clear and accessible stories on issues central to how our cities and
suburbs are changing -- including but not limited to architecture,
planning and development, transportation, urban economies, housing,
environmental issues, labor issues and workforce development,
education, crime, and religion. The result: a thought-provoking
national magazine that engages not just the planner, architect,
developer, or policy analyst but also the
businessperson, school board member, artist, and community activist.
It's a conversation that The New York Times correctly dubs a "subtle
plan to change the world." Find out more and subscribe at

About The Next American City
This new national magazine asks, "Where will we go from here?" In a
rapidly changing urban landscape, how can businesses and developers
thrive? How can cities and suburbs expand their economies? And how
can our society successfully address social and environmental
challenges? The Next American City answers these questions with
clear and accessible stories on issues central to how our cities and
suburbs are changing -- including but not limited to architecture,
planning and development, transportation, urban economies, housing,
environmental issues, labor issues and workforce development,
education, crime, and religion. The result: a thought-provoking
national magazine that engages not just the planner, architect,
developer, or policy analyst but also the
businessperson, school board member, artist, and community activist.
It's a conversation that The New York Times correctly dubs a "subtle
plan to change the world." Find out more and subscribe at
