Project Details
The Welcoming Streets Initiative launched in July of 2023. This is a one-year collaborative pilot project. How should the current program be assessed to determine impact? Are there ways that the program could be expanded in the future to continue to support individuals with addiction and mental health challenges? What are best practices happening in other cities that have similar program objectives as Welcoming Streets? Are there other projects aside from The Welcoming Streets Initiative that the City could implement to achieve this strategic goal?
This project can be completed remotely and meetings can take place either in person or online.
