The term workforce housing

    was assembled

    related workforce housing needs 3

    constituency base

    source
  • Create a collaborative process
  • Use messaging to frame the issue which assists
    in building and maintaining a broad base of
    constituents

    policy change

    associations

    change

    unified development ordinance

    academic institution

    be tailored to the members needs and expectations
