What is its nature and purpose? Is it like a tenants’ organization?
Yes, it is for the tenants, trying to get some things that HUD and/or SNRHA will not or can not provide: Stacking washer/dryer combos, new furniture for the community room, money for excursions, new pool table, etc. The list could be endless, but these people need things to make them feel less like cast-offs and more like people of worth.
We will also need a computer and printer, plus office supplies, a fund for parties, etc.
Zeke wants to contact some local businesses and see what they want to help with. I think it’s a good idea, but we need to make the residents feel like they are part of the selection process.
Our first community meeting is Monday morning, and hopefully, we will have a lot of ideas for things to ask for when its over with.
