Join in celebrating the release of the Brownsville plan document with snacks, refreshments, music, and remarks. Be one of the first to get a print copy of the plan, fresh off the printer!

Help put the finishing touches on the plan! Weigh in on the final draft and celebrate all the work we've done together over the past six months.

Over 70 residents, business owners, community organizations, elected officials, and representatives from city agencies proposed options for the programming and design of new buildings. We offered the opportunity for community members to complete the Housing Needs Questionnaire in order to provide feedback on the design and use of developments on the vacant sites. The survey can be filled out on this site until December 15. Thanks for all the contributions and feedback!

We had over 90 neighborhood residents come out to our second Brownsville Planning Workshop to provide feedback on our progress. We held focused discussions to determine our priorities and focus areas for the planning process for Livonia and Pitkin/Belmont corridors. Thanks to all who made it out!

At this all-day event in collaboration with DOT and other community organizations, HPD set up a giant mural with paints, brushes, colorful tape, and photos, in front of one of our vacant lots on Livonia between Sackman St. and Powell St. and invited participants of all ages to paint/draw/write their vision for the site. At 3pm, HPD led conversations around desired programming for the vacant sites on Livonia at Hope Summit's outdoor classroom. Thanks for participating!

We set up a table at Brownsville's National Night Out to let people know about our initiative and ask about priorities around housing, health and safety, job opportunities, and community togetherness. Thanks to everyone who stopped by! We have a photo album from the event on HPD's Facebook page.

Our first public workshop had over 75 Brownsville residents attend to speak with 10 different City agencies. Check the updates page to see photos from the event and to read about what we learned!

The neighborhood planning team tabled at Brownsville Multi-Service Family Health Center's annual SummerFest. We talked to over 150 people about what makes Brownsville "home," why residents are proud to be from Brownsville, and what people want to see in the future.

HPD attended the July Community Board 16 meeting to introduce the project and hand out updates on the 100 Days to Progress initiative.
