Best Practice

Form a Committee or Working Group

Local housing stakeholders should form a committee or working group to set goals, develop and monitor projects. This ensures that the right people have input, that goals are aligned, and that potential collaborators have space to share ideas. Committees may be organized for an array of purposes, such as potential funding sources, or specific housing issues.
