Identified a role for CHA in its wider communities (gap in the market/no major third sector player)
Spending power of CHA within the local community (financial muscle)
Willingness by the Board to be “More than just a Landlord!” and put something back into its communities (opportunity for growth)

Radio City Steering Group formed October 1997
