It is AMAZING how many landlords (including large affordable housing ones) are using recycled tenant selection plans they picked up like hand-me-down clothes. They are dated and poorly considered and do an awful job of anything except cutting out good potential tenants. Attend this FREE WEBINAR and learn from my tremendous colleagues and their partners at Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) about how easy it is to do better!

Couldn't agree more. So many doors shut that we can open or start to open by simply scrutinizing tenant selection plans which we too often assume are sound and working for people when, too often, they include onerous application processes and requirements beyond what funding, insurance or context requires that in turn end up explicitly or organically screening out good tenants with the greatest need for immediate, stable housing. Lowering barriers and increasing access requires us to continuously scrutinize our own system, agency and project policies, practices and assumptions. If you haven't looked at your TSP(s) lately this looks to be a great session to get started on that. And if you're a CoC lead, consider making this a collaborative review and improvement process with residents, providers, and our PHA and affordable housing partners to clean out the gunk in your local TSPs, now that there's something of a breather next year CoC competition-wise.

The idea of a project partner or partnership should not be seen as a burden or intimidating effort, although at times it can certainly feel that way. Community partnerships come with a range of formality levels, and are ultimately dictated by your library/organization's goals. Generally speaking, long-term, multi-phase partnerships do involve more paperwork, delegation, management and agreements (in other words, time and resources). However, community partnerships can also be informal with verbal agreements and passive input and exchange of resources from each party, for example. If your library is not in a position to shoulder the task of a long-range project and partnership, you can still build robust community connections by recruiting community partners for smaller projects and outreach initiatives. At the end of it, what makes communities and community partnerships successful are the relationships formed. #partnerships #communitydevelopment #libraries
