SUMMARY:Overall Budget on Housing & Homelessness with Dimple Ajmera
DESCRIPTION:TOPIC: Overall Budget on Housing & Homelessness\nSPEAKER:  Dimple Ajmera\, Charlotte City Council At Large member \nCouncil member Dimple Ajmera will address and share the overall budget regarding housing and homelessness. \n\nBIOGRAPHY \nDimple Ajmera\, City Council At Large\, is proud to be living the American dream. With little means\, her parents immigrated to the U.S. to provide their children with greater opportunities. Proving her tenacity\, Ajmera graduated from Southern High School in Durham\, graduated from the University of Southern California and later became a certified public accountant. After joining City Council\, Ajmera left her six-figure career in order to devote her full attention to her City Council position and a mission she values – helping to make Charlotte a place where everyone has a chance to succeed and prosper\, regardless of background or geography. As a mother\, she is dedicated to ensuring that all children in Charlotte are given equal opportunity to succeed including access to healthcare and housing. \nDuring her tenure on the City Council\, Ajmera has been a fighter with a proven record. Ajmera’s platform includes\, but is not limited to\, Public Safety\, Affordable Housing\, a Healthy Environment\, Women’s Equality\, Economic Development and Infrastructure. She is widely known for chairing the Environment Committee and helping Charlotte become a global leader in sustainability with bipartisan support. The adoption of the Strategic Energy Action Plan (SEAP) is the city’s first-ever framework to transition to a low-carbon future. Within 24 hours of its passing\, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg visited Charlotte to announce a $2.5 million grant from his foundation toward Charlotte’s efforts to fight climate change. \nAjmera also has a record of bold accomplishments on affordable housing. She played an integral role in securing the funding and neighborhood support for the St. John’s Place affordable housing development. She continues to work to expand access to affordable housing\, increase local awareness and action on school safety\, and bring traction and economic opportunities to the 69-acre Eastland site\, an area left undeveloped for years. As a mother\, she knows how important a child’s environment is for their future success and is committed to ensuring safety and security for each child. Ajmera lives with her husband\, Dr. Vaibhav Bajaj\, and her daughters\, Charlotte and Arya. \nAjmera became the first Asian American and youngest woman to be elected to City Council with her historic victory in 2017. Ajmera received the 2018 Global Service Award by Rotary International\, the 2019 Blue Sky Award for Public Policy Work by Clean Air Carolina\, the Community Advocate Award by Café Mocha Radio\, and one of Longleaf Politics’ 54 Top Young Political Stars in North Carolina. She has been recognized as one of the 50 Most Influential Women in Mecklenburg County by The Mecklenburg Times and named Charlotte Business Journal’s 40 Under 40. Most recently\, she received the NAACP Excellence in Leadership Award.
