Hello im a resident of low income housing and I think there should be more attention paid to these buildings not just the exterior but the management and security there’s been murders,vandalism and all sorts of other things going on that no one is fixing or caring about because we’re not middle class and we’re being looked over.
Hello Alicia-
Try the ABCD Institute. Its about Asset Based Community Development. I ran programs in apartments to create an advisory board & the team did a lot of community building to create advocates & make things better. Resources here: https://resources.depaul.edu/abcd-institute/Pages/default.aspx

We need reliable public transit and safe streets to walk and bike on. Hard to get work when you can’t rely on the bus. Hard to save money when you have to drive everywhere. Hard to build business and wealth when whole city is built to pressure you to drive away from it.
