Community Development
The Community Development Office develops and administers programs, activities, and policies that assist in the creation of economically viable and sustainable neighborhoods. We believe in using holistic approaches toward neighborhood revitalization, housing assistance, and community development projects. These projects build or expand infrastructures; upgrade public facilities; upgrade the existing housing stock; expand homeownership opportunities and affordable rental housing; and promote economic development.
