Community Housing Steering Committee and Working Groups

The process of establishing community housing goals is one that requires a great deal of community
input. To ensure that this process is inclusive, balances the many viewpoints that exist on this issue and
generates buy-in from all stakeholders, a Steering Committee and Working Groups will be formed.
These groups of community leaders will take on the difficult tasks of defining our community housing
problems, developing goals and measures of success, and creating implementation strategies for
achieving our community housing goals.

The Community Housing Steering Committee will be comprised of 11 members representing the groups
