A Seat at the Table 2021 Outcomes Report
One Valley Community Foundation’s A Seat at the Table 2021 Outcomes Report is Now Available
This week, One Valley Community Foundation is releasing a report from the A Seat at the Table initiative that documents the stories and ideas of Gallatin County community members about addressing housing availability and affordability issues. On October 14th, 2021, A Seat at the Table inspired hundreds of community members from throughout Gallatin County to come together to discuss the top challenge of our region: housing.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to those who volunteered as hosts and to those who participated in these conversations. Your input is valued!
What is A Seat at the Table?
A Seat at the Table is a proven civic engagement event that inspires community members to engage in decision making by collecting stories and input from numerous small group conversations focused on a single topic on the same day. Across Gallatin County, these conversations were held in each municipal library, in private homes, places of employment, the Gallatin County Detention Center, and numerous online forums. The stories and data collected from those conversations are included in a report, a social media campaign and a series of presentations to decision makers –including funders, employers, governments and nonprofit leaders.
What else is being done to address housing needs in Gallatin County?
Housing Solutions in Action is a companion piece to the report and is a current snapshot of initiatives and projects happening right now around Gallatin County that address housing needs.
