The NENC Liaisons will be attending the meeting in person. After each gives a short update on their respective organization, they will participate in an interactive dialogue on issues that are of importance to the City of Tacoma in general and the North End specifically.
The first two issues identified for discussion are:
I. PLANNING – The City of Tacoma has numerous planning initiatives and programs including the update of the Comprehensive Plan, Home in Tacoma, Neighborhood Plans (McKinley and Proctor) etc. Many of these efforts focus on a need, and desire, to densify housing within the city. How does your organization provide input to those planning initiatives and what ideas do you have to ensure that planning meets the needs of your organization, the City and the distinct neighborhoods?
II. HOMELESS/UNHOUSED ISSUES – The problems of homelessness are both visible and invisible. How is your organization impacted by this issue and what initiatives and programs are you implementing, or planning, to address and improve the situation?
