We are involving community members in all our planning sessions. 20 years ago we started with a community survey, going door to door to determine what needs neighbors would identify. Even today we go back to facilitate surveys to hear our neighbors’ opinion on different issues.
On a more regular basis we involve neighbors in our Advisory Committees, join them in neighborhood groups, monthly events at the Little Italy Farmers Market, garden picnics and games, plan with neighbors block parties like National Night Out and support neighbors in activities to clean up the neighborhood.

Surveys
We started with surveys and will conduct occasionally surveys if we need a broader input from our neighbors. We will also list on the resources page, surveys from partners that might be of interest to you.
