Planning Habitat for Humanity Capital District's future

posted Feb 5, 2016

Habitat for Humanity Capital District is starting a strategic planning process with a "Habitat Cafe" public meeting Monday, February 8 at the First Lutheran Church in Albany (181 Western Ave) from 8:30 am-11:30 am. (There's registration info at that link.) Blurbage:

"Habitat for Humanity Capital District is planning for the future! We are getting ready to prepare a strategic plan and we need YOUR help. We want to create a shared vision and a plan that will help guide us toward that vision. ... Join us for a morning of coffee and conversation about Habitat, our role in the community and how we can best realize our shared vision of a region where everyone has a decent place to live."

If you can't make the meeting, but would still like to offer thoughts, the org has posted an online survey.

In recent years Habitat for Humanity Capital District has been evolving into something more like a property developer. It's one of the key organizations behind the Sheridan Hollow redevelopment, one of the area's most interesting real estate projects. And it's also taken up an effort to rehab existing buildings.
