Housing Inventory
The Authority’s ability to recruit and retain residents of a broad range of incomes is limited by both functional and aesthetic aspects of our properties. To expand income levels within our resident population, we will develop cost-efficient ways to improve both the appearance and utility of our properties. We will also pursue redevelopment opportunities within our public housing communities. Furthermore, we will continue to strive to improve the perceptions of public housing and its residents in an effort to minimize the “housing of last resort” stigma.
Nonprofit Partnerships
To cope with decreases in federal program income for support services, the Authority will work to develop a more extensive range of nonprofit partners to serve our residents. A key strategy will be identifying those organizations whose mission seeks to serve our population, and then incorporating methodologies that reduce redundancies and enhance the efficiency of the available services.
Relationship Strengthening
The Authority relies upon the goodwill of the community and its elected and business leaders to achieve its mission. We will improve these ties and investigate possible new methods of cooperation that will serve both the community as a whole and the resident population.
