Community Engagement
The Office of Community Engagement improves housing conditions and increases residents’ access to critical resources by fostering strong relationships between the City, Community Development Corporations (CDCs), and other stakeholders. Through outreach, education, and direct assistance, the office empowers residents to navigate home repair programs, connect with available resources, and address housing challenges.
We can help with:
- Navigating homeownership
