Butterfield to Visit Three Community Organizations, Friday


WASHINGTON, DC – Tomorrow, Congressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01) will spend the day visiting three important community organizations, all fulfilling a great need in Durham.

In the morning, Butterfield will meet with Dr. Sharon Elliott Bynum, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Case Management of AIDS and Addiction through Resources and Education (CAARE), to tour the construction of its new 15-bed dormitory.  The 5,000 square foot dorm will provide transitional housing for homeless veterans, and will include private bedrooms and bathrooms, a large common area, and two business centers.

Later, the Congressman will join Durham Community Land Trustees (DCLT) Executive Director Selina Mack at the Maplewood Square Senior Housing Complex to hold a question and answer forum for its residents.  Among the issues to be discussed are the Affordable Care Act, entitlement programs and the economy.  DCLT provides permanently affordable housing for low to moderate income people while promoting revitalization in the neighborhoods in which it serves. 

In the evening, Butterfield will give brief remarks on predatory lending at the Center for Responsible Lending’s 10th Anniversary and Awards Celebration.  The event will recognize those who have played a key role in the fight against predatory lending in North Carolina.  The four award recipients are the NC State Conference of the NAACP, AARP NC, NC Justice Center, and the NC Institute of Minority Economic Development.

The Congressman’s full public schedule follows.
