For Immediate Release: October 25, 2019
The City of Alexandria invites the public to attend brainstorming sessions on approaches to mental health, affordable housing and poverty challenges in the community. Community members selected these three topics during a recent public meeting on the development of a five-year Community Health Improvement Plan. During the upcoming sessions, the community will propose solutions related to the underlying causes of poverty, lack of affordable housing and poor mental health. Those who cannot attend the meetings are welcome to submit ideas online. Spanish, Arabic, Amharic, and American Sign Language interpreters will be available, and childcare will be provided.
Mental Health Session: November 4, 6:30-8 p.m., at The Garden by Building Momentum (5380 Eisenhower Ave., Suite C)
Affordable Housing Session: November 6, 6:30-8 p.m., at the Leonard "Chick" Armstrong Recreation Center (25 W. Reed Ave.)
