improving communities through meaningful participation

seminars&clinics

Sometimes, before you even meet with a decision maker, you have to get a large group of people together on the issues. Is everyone on the same page? What are the most effective strategies for addressing the issues? Organized groups are persuasive and provide positive and lasting benefits to ensure the health of the community.

home&community is here to provide the technical assistance groups need to get all member of the community together on the issues. We'll help you find advocates in your area and then work with you to schedule a time for members of the community to meet and strategize the issues.

We'll schedule site visits to facilitate community design charettes, or "Getting to the Table" day-long clinics or half-day seminars that tackle the housing and community development topics on site -- topics developed by local residents and allies. Seminars are small groups of not more than 25 and cover specific topics. Clinics are for larger groups of not less than 25 nor more than 300 that cover multiple topics. Fees for charettes are negotiated and fixed. Fees for "Getting to the Table" range between $0 and $5 per person, on a sliding scale.
