Citizens of Tacoma, take note: your city council is looking for community-minded volunteers to step up and serve. Seven spots are open on the Tacoma Community Redevelopment Authority (TCRA) Board, and the council is eager to fill them with individuals possessing diverse experience—from law to construction, accounting to general know-how.
TCRA is instrumental in revitalizing needy areas, administering grants and loans that often empower low-income households to find or fix their homes. It also champions businesses that create jobs and tackle blighted buildings and nonprofits striving to provide housing and economic development support. These opportunities to serve are not just positions but active roles in shaping the community's future. However, interested parties must quickly act with a November 24 application deadline, as the City of Tacoma reported.
Meetings are held bright and early at 7:30 AM twice a month, switching schedules as the winter holidays approach. Those considering applying can get a peek behind the curtain by attending a meeting, and all details are available on the City of Tacoma's website. And don't let the format scare you; you can attend these hybrid meetings from the comfort of your home or in person.
