Priority 5

Housing Stability and Neighborhood Reinvestment

STABLE HOMES, REAL FOLLOW-THROUGH ON NEGLECTED PROPERTIES, AND RESPONSIBLE GROWTH SHOULD STRENGTHEN WARD 8.

Ward 8 residents deserve the opportunity to remain safely and affordably in their homes, see neglected properties addressed, and benefit from new housing and investment in their neighborhoods.

Housing Stability and Aging in Place

The ward office can help seniors, residents with disabilities, and others who need home repairs or modifications find and navigate programs that make it safer and easier to remain in their homes and communities.

Action on Vacant and Neglected Properties

Vacant and neglected properties require consistent tracking and follow-through, with clear updates about what action has been taken, what remains unresolved, and what needs to happen next.

Responsible Housing Growth

New housing and responsible investment can strengthen Ward 8 when growth supports existing neighborhoods, responds to community needs, and brings clear benefits to residents.
