"Our Tribal value system is not the same as that of the dominant society. To us, it's less about owning the land and more that we are part of the land."—Tonya Plummer, director of Native American housing programs at Enterprise Community Partners. For Tribal members of the Flathead Reservation, homeownership is about stewardship and generational stability.

Grants Pass, Oregon, recently faced scrutiny over its anti-camping law, leading to a Supreme Court review. With around 600 homeless people, the city’s vague zoning ordinances highlighted the urgent need for more explicit land use rules and better shelter options. Like in ABQ, planners and city officials around the country are challenged to find long-term solutions. Washington County’s approach—reducing homelessness by 35% through outreach and support services—offers a promising model. Meanwhile, cities like Denver and Atlanta are exploring "micro-communities" using shipping containers for housing. This situation underscores the need for innovative, inclusive planning that addresses the needs of all community members. #HousingSolutions #HomelessnessAwareness #InclusivePlanning https://lnkd.in/gV4xSFkA

Addressing affordable housing access in regional NSW is a commitment we at Argyle Housing hold close to our hearts.

Our proactive approach includes a portfolio of projects such as: • Griffin Green's 20 townhouses in Griffith, cultivating community cohesion. • Wakaden Street's residences designed for our crucial workers. • The Tolland Estate Renewal Project, a mix of social and affordable housing solutions. • Ongoing developments in Goulburn, Young, Yass, and Hay to further address the need.

📣 Calling all Spring Hill (and surrounding neighborhoods) North Siders! Join us NEXT WEEK as kick off the full series of 2024 “City in the Streets!” Last year, over 1,600 residents attended the events, resulting in over 40 service requests, and several capital improvements being fulfilled. The administration considers a variety of factors when determining locations for the City in the Streets initiative such as designation by Allegheny County as a High or Extreme Needs Community and volume of 311 reports. The initiative was birthed out of Mayor Ed Gainey’s Plan for Peace, prioritizing areas that experience a higher rate of crime as well. With high and extreme-need communities being less likely to utilize systems like 311, in-person engagements like this are critical. Representatives from every city department and select authorities are coming directly to residents in a block party setting in Spring Hill. This event will include free food, community vendors, activities for kids, and the following departments tabling to provide resources, information about their work, and intake on-site requests for service: Department of City Planning Department of Innovation and Performance Department of Mobility and Infrastructure Department of Public Works Department of Permits, Licenses, and Inspections Department of Public Safety Department of Human Resources and Civil Services Department of Parks and Recreation Mayor's Office, including Office of Neighborhood Services Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs Office of Equal Protection Office of Management and Budget Office of Municipal Investigations Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh #pittsburgh #engagement #CITS #constituentservices #localgovernment
