- INC calls on the City to partner with neighborhoods to plan for, locate, and create funding to effectively develop, staff, operate, and maintain needed housing, using all sources of funding

Thank you for posting this.
To me, this is very inclusive of neighborhoods and residents. We as citizens can be a part of a solution that asks neighborhoods to support the city in housing our homeless neighbors.
I’m very curious what the input is from other neighborhood leaders.
