The interfaith community has a strong, yet unique range of influence in the CAN community. This set of focus groups will be structured in alignment with affinity to faith traditions. This day of focus groups will be structured as interfaith affinity groups and will examine 1) how residents perceive current l and use and housing dynamics, 2) resident notions of a dignified quality of life, and 3) the necessary interventions that would keep current residents living sustainably i n the project area. Residents will also have an opportunity to share their oral histories regarding the legacy of the CAN community. 

This event is one in a series of engagement activations designed get to the heart of a dignity-infused, resident-centered experience. The core desired outcomes among all the activations are to activate people to self-determine how they’d like to grow their environments/communities and to spark new ideas and action-oriented civic engagement and ways of being.
