People and Place Outcomes Report from October 2023 NCIE Workshop
- In October 2023 LAHC held a People and Place workshop. This is the outcomes report from that workshop - it covered relocations and human services for which People and Place Reports have not yet been released and hence points to some of LAHC's approach to these parts of its People and Place approach. It is important to note that this report reflects what people said off the top of their heads in the workshop. It was not possible to comment on all material in the short time allowed and LAHC declined to allow attendees to make considered contributions after the workshop. Unlike the Waterloo Human Services Collaborative where there is discussions about different actions and a consensus reached the comments made at the session recorded have not been tested. This outcomes report was released to the Waterloo Human Services Collaborative and Groundswell and will appear on the Waterloo Redevelopment website with the other studies.
