  21. Neighborhood Resilience Strategy Market specific strategies • Housing needs differ throughout the region • Solutions must be market-specific • Exp: A neighborhood with high vacancy & deteriorating maintenance faces different challenges than a neighborhood with growing demand, but which is inaccessible to jobs & employment opportunities

  22. Impact of a Regional Housing Strategy • How can a regional housing strategy assist my community/organization • Local government planning • Development of a Consolidated Plan or an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing… • Future grant proposals/applications • Identification of needs & assessment of priorities… • Analysis of regional best practices • Market-specific strategies • Others…

  23. Defining our housing challenges & opportunities • What is the challenge? • Exp: Declining housing value • What is the needed data? • Exp: Assessment data… change in taxable value… median housing value/rent • Is this a regional or sub-regional issue? • Exp: Both – regional-wide declines, but strategies may defer depending on geography • What are the proposed strategic solutions? • Exp: Increase property maintenance – rationalize code enforcement… incentivize rehabilitation & upgrading • Exp: Create/utilize land bank authority

  24. Prioritization of Actions • What are the “universal” or core challenges facing the region? • What are the major opportunities? • What are the steps needed to address these challenges and emphasize these opportunities • What is required for the next meeting & for moving this task force forward?
