During the first 30 days of the 90 day period, the Water Works Referral Liaison, in collaboration with the third party consultant team, when applicable, will identify a venue to convene the targeted recruitment event. Typically, all Water Works recruitment events are held in the Department of Housing and Community Development’s (DHCD) Housing Resource Center Conference Room which is in close proximity to the Anacostia Economic Development Corporation, where the Anacostia Water Works Job Center is located. To reserve the conference room, the point of contact is Ms. Pamela Hillsman-Johnson, 202-442-7251 or Pamela.Hillsman@dc.gov or her designate.
