Adam Mayer emphasizes outreach and public awareness in Human Rights Commission testimony
Summary
Adam Mayer, a long-serving council staffer and director of housing partnerships at Pathways to Housing DC, told the committee he would prioritize publicizing the Human Rights Act and encouraging residents to contact the Office of Human Rights, while supporting timely case processing if confirmed.
Adam Mayer described his 27 years of service at the D.C. Council and his work placing formerly homeless residents through Pathways to Housing DC as preparation for continued service on the Commission on Human Rights.
Mayer said the Human Rights Act is a progressive statute and argued the office should be better publicized so residents know when to call the Office of Human Rights to begin the complaint process. He also emphasized faster case management and outreach to help people access remedies.
