Community Connections: Designing our Services

Between April and November 2022, we held a series of community meetings. We talked to: 

  • Building owners
  • Building managers
  • Building tenants
  • Community leaders
  • Critical external stakeholders

Our goals were to:

  • Build trust with the community
  • Gather insights and feedback from people who will use the services
  • Identify critical resources that the community is missing

Together with the groups we met with, we were able to co-create a plan for services and incentives. The feedback ensured that the program we designed would solve remove real barriers from building owners.
