Housing Authority of the City of Eureka Community Engagement
The Housing Authority of the City of Eureka (HACE) owns, operates, and manages 196 units of public housing in the City of Eureka, Humboldt County. Funding sources to maintain public housing have become uncertain, outdated, and inefficient. In addition, the public housing owned by HACE is in need substantial rehabilitation and reinvestment.
Therefore, in 2023, HACE initiated a Repositioning Plan, which involves restructuring the financing of its public housing portfolio so that it may rehabilitate existing units, and increase the number of units it owns and manages from 196 units to a new total of 350 units. The Plan involves improving existing units as well as building new units in order to meet growing housing demand.
Housing Tools assisted HACE with community engagement associated with the Repositioning Plan, in order to provide information, answer questions and solicit input from public housing residents, neighbors and the larger community. These efforts included: Community Partner Interviews, a Resident Survey, Resident Focus Groups, a Virtual Neighborhood Meeting and Virtual Community Listening Sessions. In order to support HACE with its future outreach efforts, Housing Tools summarized the process and input from community engagement in a report “Repositioning Plan: Community Engagement Outcomes Report”.
