CITY
Avondale asks residents to add input on homelessness survey
Strategic Plan for Homelessness Resolution will help define future city plans
(Metro Creative Connection)

Special to Independent Newsmedia
The city of Avondale's Neighborhood and Family Services Department is sponsoring an initiative to address homelessness within the community.
Avondale has partnered with Public Works LLC, a public policy consulting firm, to lead the strategic planning process.
“The primary objective is to inform the City Council, leadership, and staff about effective strategies to meet the growing demand for affordable housing, appropriate services, and resources tailored to the unique needs of our community,” Chris Lopez, Avondale Neighborhood Family Services director, shared in a press release.
To ensure that the plan is well-informed and reflects the diverse perspectives of the community, residents are invited to participate in this endeavor. Tailored surveys have been developed to capture the needs and viewpoints of both housed and unhoused individuals, as well as those at risk of homelessness.
Residents are asked to take a moment to complete the survey that aligns with their situation:
Community Member and Neighborhood Association Survey
“The insights gathered through these surveys will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our community and contribute to our mission of making homelessness a rare, brief, and non-recurring experience,” Lopez stated.
All responses from participants will be treated with the utmost confidentiality.
For more information on homelessness, call 623-333-2713, or email the Avondale SONAR Team (Street Outreach Navigation And Resources) at Sonar@avondaleaz.gov.
