The Tacoma City Council is looking to fill a total of seven volunteer positions on the Tacoma Community Redevelopment Authority Board (TCRA): two at-large representatives; two representatives with experience in the legal profession as an attorney; two representatives with experience in housing development or construction; and one certified public accountant representative.
The TCRA administers grants and loans to support low-income households and families in buying or repairing their homes, multi-family housing developers or owners who provide housing to low-income families, businesses which create jobs or rehabilitate blighted buildings, and non-profit organizations that provide housing and economic development services to the Tacoma community.
TCRA meetings are held at 7:30 a.m. on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month from January to October. In November and December, meetings change to the first and third Thursdays. Meetings are currently held in hybrid format to allow either in-person or virtual online participation. We invite interested applicants to observe a meeting during the application period. Information on upcoming meetings and agendas are available here.
The City is committed to fostering an equitable and anti-racist organization and wants its committees, boards, and commissions to reflect Tacoma’s diverse community. For these vacancies, all individuals, including BIPOC, LGBTQ+ individuals, individuals with disabilities, seniors, youth, immigrants, and refugees are encouraged to apply.
Appointed applicants are required to complete Open Public Meetings Act and Public Records Act trainings provided by the Washington State Office of the Attorney General, within 90 days of being appointed to a committee, board, or commission.
Additional information on the Tacoma Community Redevelopment Authority Board is available here.
