Resource Overview: “Housing policy and development decisions impact all members of a community. However, evidence suggests that the processes used to gather public input on local decisions are often dominated by subsets of people who do not necessarily represent an entire community. This can perpetuate inequitable outcomes and hamper local housing policy or land use reform efforts. Housing leaders often acknowledge this challenge but need practical examples of ways to improve local community engagement approaches. LHS offers a range of such materials to help local leaders assess and improve their engagement strategies.”
