On Tuesday, March 12, 65 members of the ACTION Housing Task Force met at Martin Luther Lutheran Church.

The ACTION Housing Task Force is a diverse group of Youngstown residents and faith leaders coming together to ensure all people in Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley have safe, fair, and quality housing. At the Task Force meeting members discussed progress to date in the predatory land contract campaign, reviewed housing quality and rental data, began developing a campaign to hold slumlords accountable, and selected a campaign team to lead the slumlord campaign. The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 30, at 6pm at Martin Luther Lutheran Church.
