Join us on Friday, February 19th to unveil the Housing and Community Engagement Toolkit. The toolkit aims to provide resources and ideas for municipalities and community partners to improve their community engagement work given constrained local government resources. This toolkit is especially timely given the housing element updates underway across the state.

Community engagement is an integral part of the planning process, improving bi-directional communication, increasing community satisfaction, and strengthening public trust in government agencies. It also plays a key role in uplifting the voices of community members, enabling them to provide their expertise and leverage their lived experiences.

• COVID-19 poses a significant barrier for people to participate during the current housing element updates. What can we learn and how can we innovate under these circumstances? 
• This will be an open conversation to think together as a community of opportunities to build new relationships and inclusive systems that promote equity.
• We also hope that this toolkit can learn from the engagement currently taking place around Southern California.
