Neighborfest Pilot Program to Promote Neighborhood Resilience

Earlier this month, the Ridgway Historic Neighborhood Association was invited by Santa Rosa's Office of Community Engagement (OCE) to participate in the forthcoming Neighborfest Pilot Program. The OCE will be receiving funding from the United Way of Sonoma County and the Healthcare Foundation of Northern Sonoma County for the Pilot Program.

To provide more information about Neighborfest and to prepare for the Pilot Program, OCE invited Daniel Homsey, Director of the Neighborhood Empowerment Network for the City and County of San Francisco, to November's Community Advisory Board (CAB) meeting. Mr. Homsey presented information on San Francisco’s Neighborfest Program and provided the CAB and community with a demonstration of the table top exercise conducted during Neighborfest events called “Map Your Resilientville.”

As a Neighborfest Pilot Program participant, we look forward to working with the City to improve our neighborhood's resiliency.
