Public Engagement and Outreach Subcommittee of the Housing Commission

Public Engagement and Outreach Subcommittee of the Housing Commission

About

In May, 2021, The San Antonio Housing Commission voted to have subcommittees formed to take on specific actions from the Housing Policy Framework (HPF) accepted by Council in 2018. On December 21, 2021, the Strategic Housing Implementation Plan (SHIP) was adopted and subcommittees shifted their efforts to support SHIP's initiatives, which include HPF's incomplete strategies. One of these subcommittees is the Public Engagement and Outreach Subcommittee.

Charge

The Public Engagement and Outreach Subcommittee is charged to efficiently engage the public through guidance, support, and oversight of Neighborhood and Housing Service department’s public engagement as it relates to policies developed in response to Housing Policy Framework and Strategic Housing Implementation Plan (SHIP). The subcommittee is seeking to give voice to parts of the community traditionally underrepresented but who make up a significant segment of the population including, but not limited to, those most impacted by housing insecurity.

Goals

  • Assist staff with outreach to communities through Facebook, NextDoor, email, mailings, meetings, and block walking.
  • Increase the number of public comments related to topics on the Housing Commission’s agendas
  • Engage the media print and digital
  • Draft statements for media/op-eds for Housing Commission to release
  • Draft application for non-Commission members
  • Invite comment on some issues from specific groups such as HOAs as appropriate
