Envisioning Development at the New York Immigration Coalition |
Our buddies at the NYIC asked us and Richard Lee of Asian Americans for Equality to ‘train the trainers’ at a monthly meeting of housing advocates who work with immigrant communities. CHHAYA was there, Woodside on the Move was there, AAFE was there, Urban Justice Center, a couple other groups…pretty fun!
That’s the way it usual works — NYIC wanted to buy a toolkit, so we did the first workshop with experienced facilitators so they could see it happen step by step. We also have a facilitator’s guide at the back of the guidebook, a ‘how-to’ video posted on the Affordable Housing page of this site, and some sample intro scripts. That’s full service!
We’ve now sold the toolkit to about 40 groups around the city and country — tenant groups, community boards, academic institutions, CDCs, planning organizations, public health departments, and many others.
