How to Appropriately Address New Entries into the Neighborhood

Understand the myths versus the realities of having group homes or affordable housing developments come into a neighborhood. Ever wonder how to appropriately assess if such new entries are effectively run? When a special use permit is needed and the steps involved in getting one? View information flier.

The workshop will cover all aspects of understanding the true impact of new additions to the neighborhood, what is appropriate to ask and who to ask those questions, as well as the relevant laws and city ordinances.

Questions will be strongly encouraged and welcomed!

This informative, interactive workshop will be led by Jill Fenner, Director of the Fair Housing Center of NE – IA, a program of Family Housing Advisory Services, Inc.
