Get involved with Neighbor-to-Neighbor Outreach <br />. Serve as neighborhood ambassadors to new residents, offer to orient them to the City and <br />services offered to residents. <br />. Offer assistance to neighbors who seem to be having problems maintaining and keeping up <br />their properties, help them connect with programs designed to offer this type of assistance. <br />. Support youth projects to improve parks or provide assistance to the elderly <br /> <br />2. Support Education <br />.

Participate in public meetings requesting input on development proposals <br />. Volunteer to be on citizen committees or advisory bodies <br />.

Conclusion <br /> <br />The purpose of the series of RHRA Dialogues was to better understand community concerns <br />about housing issues and trends in RoseviIIe and the actions they would support to address <br />issues or change trends. From these community conversations and written feedback from <br />participants, the Center for Policy, Planning, and Performance has identified five critical issues <br />and options for responding. <br /> <br />1. Property maintenance and conservation of existing neighborhood aesthetics and character is <br />a high priority within the community. Single-family and multi-family property owners from <br />across the city consistently identified this issue as a priority value and concern. <br /> <br />Options for addressing this issues include: <br />. Enhanced Code enforcement supported by citizen-action programs <br />. A blend of financial programs that would meet the needs of several specific audiences <br />. Design Guidelines aimed at preserving and enhancing neighborhood" aesthetics" <br />. Increased City Communications about the City Code <br />.
