Informed Residents. Stronger Communities.
Meeting People Where They Are
Mission: To inform, educate and support residents who have been traditionally, historically and geographically marginalized in the decision making process, regarding complicated land-use policies, surrounding housing and transportation issues presented in Thrive Montgomery 2050, Attainable Housing Strategies Initiative (AHSI) and the Pedestrian Master Plan.
Purpose: To facilitate a culture of participation by creating equitable access, and meeting people where they are, In their communities. This will be achieved by educating community members on land-use and transportation policies; by providing information and access to opportunities to learn more; by educating community members on how to sign-up and participate in public hearings; by providing computer access when needed; by removing systemic barriers which prevent community members from having a seat at the proverbial table and being their own advocates. Educating in communities that have been historically, institutionally, politically and geographically excluded from the decision-making process in Montgomery County, MD, regarding stable, equitable affordable housing, land-use and transit issues.
