Citizens will have a chance to learn how the City of Sarasota is addressing our community’s housing challenges at a special Affordable Housing Town Hall meeting hosted by Commissioner Hagen Brody.

The town hall will be held at 5:30 p.m. Monday, June 13, in the Commission Chambers at City Hall, 1565 First St.

The event will include presentations from City Planning Director Steve Cover and Sarasota Housing Authority President and CEO William Russell, who will discuss their organizations’ roles, current projects and initiatives and how they are helping to create and encourage affordable housing.

“This is a critical opportunity for the community to hear accurate information and to address any questions about what we are doing to make Sarasota a more affordable place to live and the important efforts that are underway,” said Commissioner Brody.
