Housing operators can play a significant role in helping improve the conditions for spontaneous social connections to occur between residents by intentionally providing resources or implementing initiatives that foster vibrant, neighbourly communities. Some of the reported benefits for housing operators include: 🔑 Greater sense of belonging, pride, and care for property among residents. 🔑 Reduced operating costs related to disturbances and conflicts in buildings. 🔑 Reduced turnover, vacancy, vandalism, and maintenance. 🔑 Strengthened connections between vulnerable residents and community service providers. 🔑 Safer buildings and higher staff satisfaction. 🔑 Market advantage—buildings become more desirable to prospective residents. 🔑 Improved brand equity and increased attractiveness to institutional investors. 🔑 Greater support from municipal governments that promote social cohesion. We're fortunate to have several engaged housing partners on this work including Brightside Community Homes Foundation, Catalyst Community Developments Society, and Concert Properties. https://lnkd.in/gq-KbsH4 #growingcommunity #urbanism #neighbourliness

We need and want more affordable housing in Marin County. We also need and want the overburdened and underheard residents of Marin City to have the opportunity to shape their community, and to move towards inclusive and equitable practices in community development. These are fundamental goals and they aren't mutually exclusive. We're not there yet, but this is important progress. #equity #affordablehousing #AFFH #communitydevelopment #SB35 https://lnkd.in/gs_JDy5t Gift link: https://lnkd.in/gjUkXcTE

#AffordableHousing | A new report by the Housing and Community Development Network of New Jersey (HCDNNJ) and the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) reveals that there are only 30 affordable rental homes available for every 100 extremely low-income households in the #GardenState.

I agree with Cushing Terrell! Crafting a long-range plan affects current and future residents, making broad community engagement crucial. While involving diverse voices can be resource-intensive, it ensures a plan reflects the community’s needs and desires. The key is to proactively reach out and connect with people where they are, rather than just inviting them to a meeting. Effective communication about the purpose of the long-range plan, its importance, and ways to stay engaged throughout the process is essential for a more equitable and representative outcome. #CommunityEngagement #InclusivePlanning #FutureReady
