NeighborWorks Lincoln’s Annual Neighborhood Forum Returns February 12

NeighborWorks Lincoln (www.nwlincoln.org) is proud to host the Sixth-Annual Neighborhood Forum on February 12 at Sower Church, 2640 R St., which creates a unique opportunity for City of Lincoln residents to engage directly with City Department Directors, elected officials, and other stakeholders on issues impacting their neighborhoods. Past Neighborhood Forums have focused on issues such as transportation, street repairs, city and state budgets, parks, and the relationship between residents and key decision makers. A panel discussion on housing affordability is being finalized, as are several focused breakout conversations.

The event will begin at 8:30 a.m. with beverages and light fare provided. The Forum aims to bring together neighborhood association representatives, resident leaders, and stakeholders from community-based organizations.

“NeighborWorks Lincoln actively works to stabilize neighborhoods and providing opportunities like this forum is part of that work,” says NeighborWorks Lincoln CEO Wayne Mortensen. “The neighborhoods in which we work are made stronger when residents are able to engage with the institutions that impact their lives.”

The mission of NeighborWorks Lincoln is to revitalize neighborhoods and support homeownership, keeping Lincoln a safe and prosperous community. They facilitate better neighborhoods by empowering strong resident leadership through collaboration with city departments and community partners; facilitating sustainable homeownership through homebuyer education and assistance; and developing desirable housing for economically diverse clientele in Lincoln’s core neighborhoods.
