Community Building & Resident Engagement
DEFINING THE NEEDS
Community Building and Engagement activities are central to effective community development work and the mission of ICHDE. Interfaith Community Housing of Delaware, Inc. supports residents in communities in an effort to maintain the appearance, safety, and quality of life of their neighborhoods. In partnership with stakeholders, block clubs, civic associations, and neighborhood councils, we focus on partnership building, organizing, and training resident leaders.
We assist residents to define and address needs in their neighborhoods so they can actively improve the quality of life for their families and neighbors.
