DESCRIPTION:Save Berkeley's Public Housing Program\n\nThe Berkeley Housing Authority 
 (BHA) has been infiltrated by some slick high priced consultants from the 
 EJP Consulting Group and ICF International, in an effort to terminate 
 Berkeley's public housing program.\n\nAs a result, tens of thousands of 
 dollars of our precious resources that were meant to assist the needy, have 
 instead been siphoned away and dumped into the pockets of the greedy 
 consultants - a tragic corrupt situation. \n\nThe community is being urged 
 to speak out against the scheme to terminate Berkeley's public housing 
 program, and the plan to sell Berkeley's 75 public housing units, resulting 
 in the displacement Berkeley's poor. \n\nThe developers interested in 
 buying Berkeley's public housing units, are not interested in having the 
 units occupied when taking control.\n\nAround 209 people or more will face 
 the risk of losing their housing as a result!   \n\nOn Friday April 23, 
 from 8:15am till 11:30am, join the struggle to save Berkeley's public 
 housing program and say NO to Agenda Items A and B of the Action 
 Calendar.\n\nSpeak out, and say NO against Agenda Items A & B, of the 
 Action Calendar! \n\nII. Action Calendar from LIPH Feasibility Committee 
 \n\nSay NO on Item A) \nA. Consideration of a resolution confirming the 
 preferred disposition option is to a third party developer, independent of 
 the Berkeley Housing Authority, with the following two provisions: (i) that 
 all units remain affordable rental units and (ii) all of the units remain 3 
 or 4 bedroom units. \n\nSay No on Item B) \nB. Consideration of a 
 resolution authorizing the Executive Director, working with the LIPH 
 Feasibility Committee, to take the next steps to implement the preferred 
 option, including developing and issuing a Request for Proposals for a 
 third-party developer, and executing an appropriate contract with the 
 Relocation Consultant.\n\nTry to be there by 8:15am to sign up as a speaker 
 and say NO to Agenda Items A & B on the Action Calendar!  \n\nWhen: April 
 23, 2010 from 8:15am - 11:15am \n\nWhere: North Berkeley Senior Center
