Homelessness Resolution Survey

Avondale Strategic Plan for Homelessness Resolution: Survey open for resident input

The City of Avondale's Neighborhood and Family Services Department has embarked on a significant initiative to address homelessness within the community. Avondale has partnered with Public Works LLC, a respected public policy consulting firm, to lead a strategic planning process aimed at realizing the City’s vision and mission: To make any experience of homelessness in the City of Avondale rare, brief, and non-recurring.

“This strategic planning process takes a comprehensive approach to gain deeper insights into the housing and service needs, challenges, and priorities of our community,” said Chris Lopez, Avondale Neighborhood Family Services director. “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.”

“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 added.

To ensure that this strategic plan is well-informed and reflects the diverse perspectives of the community, residents are invited to participate in this vital 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:
