District 5 encompasses much of the East Side and the historically Black neighborhood of Stop Six. The Cavile Place public housing development was recently demolished as part of a massive Stop Six revitalization effort that is possible, in part, due to a $35 million grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Councilmember Gyna Bivens has represented District 5 since 2013.
