Please describe how you have involved the intended beneficiaries of the proposed project in the planning and design process (in 100 words or less). While the specific homeowners who will be served next fiscal year have not yet been identified, Habitat continually seeks feedback from previous program beneficiaries, which is used to assess and improve the program. Surveys and conversations at the time of project completion provide valuable insights into the experiences and needs of program beneficiaries. Habitat also works closely with community-based organizations such as the Marian Cheek Jackson Center, the Rogers-Eubanks Neighborhood Association, and the Northside Compass Group to ensure that our programs are well-aligned with the goals and priorities of historically underserved neighborhoods where residents are at high risk of displacement due to rising costs. b.
