Description
Inclusion, partnerships and social cohesion are key components of resilient neighborhoods. Resilient neighborhoods are self-sufficient and possess the capacity to organize and address neighborhood issues. While electronic neighborhood platforms have increased the speed with which Westminster residents can share information, these platforms tend not to build true relationships with neighbors. Facilitated discussions seek to better define Westminster’s neighborhood needs, including workforce housing and other housing types, to build greater cohesion and greater social capital.
Components
- Facilitate inclusive community discussions on affordable, workforce housing, permanent supportive housing and housing diversity.
- Support neighborhood gatherings that enhance social cohesion, neighborhood capacity and self-sufficiency to organize and address neighborhood issues.
