PDRC Housing Committee The PDRC Housing Committee is run by a group of volunteers working with the Point Douglas Residents Committee. The Housing Committee addresses issues of concern regarding housing in our community and works with various organizations and agencies toward a long-term housing plan for the area. Following is a recent article in The Point written by Barb Matheson, Chair of the Housing Committee: Housing Issues in North Point Douglas The PDRC Housing Committee keeps track of houses that are n poor repair, and reports can be made anonymously by neighbourhood residents. We report concerns to the City and also may contact landlors if that will not negatively impact tenants. You can report houses that are in poor repair through: Powerline (email point.powerline@yahoo.com, phone 956-4090); or Housing Committee email (bematheson@gmail.com, phone 285-7101). You can also report concerns to the City yourself by calling 311. If you do, we ask that you let the Housing Committee or Powerline know so we can track what is reported and the City's response. Many houses in North Point Douglas are owned by Manitoba Housing. We would like to make sure that Manitoba Housing is doing appropriate upkeep and that these houses are occupied. The Housing Committee would like to invite residents to attend their monthly meetings and provide their input on housing issues and plans for the future. The meetings take place on the 3rd Monday of each month at 7pm. The location varies, so please contact Barb at 285-7101 or email her at bematheson@gmail.com to arrange to attend. You may also do so by contacting the Point Douglas Residents Committee office at 927-3827 or email them at pdrc@pointdouglas.ca View the North Point Douglas Neighbourhood Housing Plan 2003 - 2008 http://www.winnipeg.ca/ppd/planning/pdf_folder/NPD_nbhd.PDF Explore Life in The Point!
