How Land Banks can Practice Intentional, Authentic Community Engagement
Andrea Purdy-Steenholdt Ashley Turner Leslie Smith
Description

Do residents approach your land bank with apprehension or mistrust? Have you left it to others to tell your land bank’s story? If so, it’s time to assess and reimagine your approach to community engagement.

Join this training to learn how some land banks are trying creative activities, policies, and products to go beyond just “checking the box” when it comes to community engagement. Training participants will learn about replicable engagement and communication strategies and hear from the Omaha Municipal Land Bank about the impact of their community engagement practices. Participants will leave with resources and practical ideas to test in their neighborhoods, but most importantly walk away with a stronger commitment to intentional resident engagement that fosters trust, respect, and better outcomes.
