Today, we took part in a summit with the Alexandria Healthy Homes Network! The network is a coalition of housing organizations that work to create #SafeAndHealthy homes for ALL Alexandria residents. We plan to make meaningful changes that improve residents' quality of life in just a few years. Within this first year, Rebuilding Together DCA has attended several formal meetings to assist with: coordinating service deliveries, implementing strategies, creating measurable goals, and working with impacted residents/property managers, to target crisis within the healthy homes ecosystem. The #hhn plans to continue serving #Alexandria residents; we're excited to create MORE beneficial impact in more cities around us!
