Erin's Priorities for District 5

District 5 is home to many working families, seniors, veterans, and residents who rely on affordable and workforce housing. As housing costs continue to rise, protecting existing housing and helping families achieve homeownership must remain a priority.

As Vice Chair of the Hollywood Housing Authority and a member of the Community Development Advisory Board, Erin has worked on housing issues, reviewed funding opportunities, and supported programs that help residents find and keep safe, affordable housing.

Key Priorities:

Environmental issues in District 5 are closely tied to everyday quality of life like flooding, tree coverage, heat, and the condition of our parks and public spaces. A practical approach to the environment means making smart investments that protect neighborhoods and improve livability.

Erin Marvasti's work on the Community Development Advisory Board has included reviewing and supporting neighborhood improvement projects funded through federal Community Development Block Grants. Those investments have helped improve parks, sidewalks, street lighting, and other public spaces that contribute to cleaner, safer, and more resilient neighborhoods.

Key Priorities:

Every family deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood. Public safety means supporting police and firefighters, but it also means safer streets, cleaner neighborhoods, and strong partnerships between residents and the city.

Erin Marvasti has worked with neighborhood groups, schools, and community organizations for years because keeping neighborhoods safe takes everyone working together.

She is honored to have the support and endorsement of our first responders, including the Hollywood Police and Firefighter unions, because they understand what it takes to keep the community safe every day.

Key Priorities:

As our city grows and weather patterns become more intense, District 5 needs practical investments that protect neighborhoods and improve everyday quality of life.

Erin Marvasti has supported planning efforts that focus on neighborhood infrastructure and long-term improvements, including drainage, sidewalks, parks, and other community investments through her work on the Community Development Advisory Board.

Key Priorities:

Great neighborhoods have places where children can play, teens can grow, and families can come together.

Erin has spent more than 15 years volunteering with our schools, serving as PTA President, serving on SAC, organizing community events, and supporting programs for local families. Supporting the expansion of the Boys & Girls Club Teen Center is one example of investing in our children and our future.

Key Priorities:

Access to health and wellness programs is an important part of building a strong, active, and connected community. Supporting opportunities for residents to stay physically and mentally healthy helps improve quality of life across all ages, especially seniors and families.

Erin actively participates in and promotes local wellness programs throughout District 5. She attends and helps promote the weekly Aqua Zumba class at the Driftwood Community Pool, and she worked with residents to help bring yoga and Zumba programming to the Carriage Hills community. She also supports partnerships with healthcare providers, including Memorial Healthcare System, to expand wellness programming for seniors at the Boulevard Heights Community Center.

Key Priorities:

People deserve to live in neighborhoods that are clean, attractive, and well cared for, not just occasionally but consistently and across every part of District 5.

Erin has not just talked about neighborhood pride. She has actively participated in community clean up efforts and continues to lead by example, showing up alongside residents to help keep our neighborhoods clean and cared for.

Key Priorities:

Residents deserve a commissioner who listens, communicates, and follows through.

Serving on city boards and volunteering in our community has reinforced to Erin that good government starts by listening to residents and making thoughtful, informed decisions.

Key Priorities:

District 5 is built by hardworking families and small businesses. Supporting local business growth while ensuring responsible use of taxpayer dollars is key to a strong and stable community.

As a small business owner for more than 20 years, Erin Marvasti understands the challenges business owners face—rising costs, regulations, and the need for a supportive city government that listens and responds. She has consistently been a proponent of supporting local businesses and strengthening neighborhood commercial corridors, and that commitment has been part of her work and community involvement for many years. That long-standing support is also why many in the District 5 business community are standing with her candidacy.
