Welcome!
Dear Friends,
Welcome to Honoring Linda Leaks!
We are Linda Leaks’ longtime friends, Ajowa Ifateyo and Tricia Kinch.
We present this website to share with you the big picture of what Linda contributed to help DC residents create affordable homeownership for themselves and their communities.

Share Your Story
If you worked with Linda as a tenant, policy maker or advocate, please share your thoughts on the work and the achievements and what Linda's work means to you. What were some of the challenges? How did you or your group overcome the obstacles?
Homeowners, what does it mean to you as you look at the status of your housing today?
Join us to celebrate Linda!
Knowing Linda, we believe she would want as many of the people that worked with her to join her in this celebration. We are reaching out to the cooperatives that worked with Linda and asking if they can afford to send at least one representative to the Cooperative Hall of Fame events.
We have a goal of raising the funds for all the cooperative members who would like to participate to do so. The events include a forum; a cocktail reception; and the award ceremony and dinner.
We are also hoping to provide transportation support if needed.
We welcome your questions about attending the celebration, or sponsoring a ticket. Please contact Tricia Kinch:
