Many planners find that when it comes to housing projects, the traditional engagement process does not draw a representative section of the community and, as a result, does not produce recommendations that meet the community’s needs, or the goals expressed in the adopted master plan. This session identifies the groups who are consistently struggling to find housing across the state, helping communities design engagement practices that can better reach them. It also explores ways to bring housing advocates, and their deep knowledge of housing needs and proven solutions, into the public conversation.
Online reference book is included.
This is a virtual event.
