Heroes of Housing
This item suggests the possibility of initiating a program entitled, "Heroes of Housing". This program
would be set up to highlight and recognize former and current resident accomplishments. This would
include brief biographical profiles on residents who can serve as role models for others. Some
suggestions staff had on how to reach residents with this information are:
• To invite former residents to share their experiences and accomplishments by giving
presentations, or by being interviewed and their stories written.
• A newsletter, published by the housing staff, to include current and past resident
achievements.
• Framing photos of former or current residents, with a brief description of their
accomplishment. These photos would then be hung at the Housing Office so anyone
coming in to the office can see what others are doing, or have done, before them.
These are only a few suggestions that staff had for ways to reach residents to make them aware
of this, "Heros of Housing" program. The Commission particularly liked the idea of starting a
newsletter as a first step, and agreed that other methods should be initiated as the program
progresses. This item had a vote of unanimous approval by the Commission.

The Monthly Activity Report was reviewed and discussed; no action was required.
