§ Public forums were held virtually on February 15 and February 17, 2022. During the forums, staff provided an overview of the Action Plan, answered participants' questions, and provided residents with opportunities to make comments.
§ The Plan can be found at https://charlottenc.gov/HNS/Housing/Strategy/Documents/.
