Session 4

Broken doors, high grass, or a sagging roof are more than just visual cues of vacancy. They are health and safety concerns — and communities have the power to act in response through code enforcement. Communities should be strategic in their code enforcement efforts to ensure property compliance is achieved in an effective and efficient manner, enlist partners to help with proactive education, and center equity throughout to ensure additional hardships are not placed on vulnerable residents.

Session 3

Developing an equitable, effective, and efficient plan to address vacant, abandoned and deteriorated (VAD) properties requires knowing the true impact these properties have on communities, and most importantly, the people that call them home. Policies developed in the absence of close collaboration with the community and those most affected by these properties are at best ineffective and at worst harmful. Determining the role of residents and other stakeholders in developing a comprehensive strategy to address VAD properties is a critical first step to identifying equitable solutions.
