We fight for families.
“MidCity has left the community out — we’re calling everyone back in to join us. This fight is not over.”
— Ms. Cheryl Brunson, Treasurer, Brookland Manor Brentwood Village Residents’ Association
Brookland Manor is the largest remaining affordable community in the nation’s capital and its 3-, 4-, and 5-bedroom units are some of the last places for families in the District. But the DC government approved and funded the owner’s plan to tear down more than a hundred family units to replace them with 1,300 luxury apartments. This massive displacement plan eliminates desperately needed family housing and threatens the close knit community supports residents have built over the last 60 years. The Brookland Manor community, a Black stronghold in gentrifying Ward 5, is fighting back. Will you join us?
“Even though MidCity’s planned buildings have many more units, the redevelopment plan eliminates over 100 affordable family-sized apartments, significantly reducing the total number of affordable units and creating enormous potential for displacement.” -Our Fight
