The
Yesler Terrace Citizen Review Committee met ten
times between October 2006 and October 2007 to
develop the policy direction for the
redevelopment project. The result of the
committee's work is a set of definitions and
guiding principles around social equity,
economic opportunity, environmental stewardship
and one-for-one replacement housing.
The committee adopted these guiding principles
in September 2007. They were approved by Seattle
Housing Authority's Board of Commissioners on December 6, 2007.
A report entitled "Definitions & Guiding
Principles: Working Toward a Community Vision"
is available here in PDF format.
(This is a large file and may take time to
download.) The report also includes introductory
material and a minority report submitted by
Seattle Displacement Coalition Coordinator John
V. Fox and Yesler resident Kristin O'Donnell.
The complete text of each guiding principle as
passed by the CRC is also available using
the links below.
In addition to the guiding principles, the CRC
also developed a series of
planning
concepts. These were received by the Board
of Commissioners on December 6, and will
continue to be refined as the planning proceeds.
The planning concepts and the report containing
the guiding principles have also been translated
into the predominant languages other than
English that are spoken at Yesler Terrace. These
translations are available at the SHA Management
Office and by using the links below. (Please
note these links are to documents that are
