NAHRO members are leading the charge to preserve public housing and develop partnerships to meet the needs of their residents. This panel will feature revitalization efforts led by three housing authorities, including reimagining a former church parish into a community center and affordable housing, developing new programs and a portfolio wide public housing preservation strategy, and coming back from troubled status to break ground on new affordable housing for the first time in years. The session will conclude with a discussion on how to raise awareness about the important work housing authorities do to build communitywide support for these initiatives.
