[quote=Anonymous]On Nadeau’s behalf, Graham wrote to the head of the District’s housing agency and others, saying, “Please do all you can.” A budget official for Gray also helped, Nadeau recently said. Over the course of two days in February 2009, Nadeau’s loan amount was reevaluated and, with the help of city housing officials, increased by nearly $20,000.

In her e-mail to Graham and Gray, as well as in a lengthy appeal to the league for reconsideration in 2009, Nadeau said that her income had not changed since 2007. “Since that time my income has not changed at all,” she wrote to league officials. Congressional records and financial information she had previously provided to the league show otherwise. Asked about the discrepancy, Nadeau said that her base salary had not changed but that she had received bonuses that increased her pay. Nadeau also signed her pleas for assistance as “Commissioner, ANC 1B05” and cited her role as a volunteer community leader as a reason she had to apply for the low-income loan. “I have sacrificed a great deal by serving on the ANC, only one example being my ability to purchase a home anywhere I wish. This condo is the only home in my entire district that I can afford to purchase, and I cannot do that without the funding from HPAP at the prior guidelines. “I understand that nobody is entitled to HPAP funds, and I do not take for granted that I should receive them. But I would never have ventured down this long and arduous path had I not believed I would eventually be approved.” Nadeau said she does not regret mentioning her status as an ANC commissioner. “I was about to lose my home, and I did what anyone else would have done, which is advocate for myself with the council chairman and Urban League,” she said.
