Thank you for your interest in the city of Aurora's Housing
and Community Services Department. We connect Aurorans to events, programs,
and resources that build strong families, safe neighborhoods, and a diverse
community. Additionally, we are a link between community members and their
local government and serve as a trusted source of information for the
Aurora community.
Are you a leader in your neighborhood or part of a
neighborhood group? The city of Aurora is looking to form a neighborhood
leader network to better support Aurora neighborhood groups thrive. Share
your ideas and brainstorm with other leaders on what this network should
look like and how it can support the continued growth of neighborhood
relationships.
The Aurora Housing and Community Services Department has
launched a survey to gauge how residents engage with their neighbors,
neighborhood and the city to best support these efforts with ongoing or new
programming and resources. The survey can be found at EngageAurora.org/Neighborhood-Engagement.
The deadline to complete this survey is Sunday, Oct. 31. The
survey will be conducted twice per year (fall and spring) and should take
no more than five minutes to complete.
“The city understands the value
that strong neighborhood relationships bring to neighborhoods
across the city,” said Charise
Canales, community engagement manager for the Aurora Housing
and Community Services Department. “We want to continue supporting these
relationships to create more connected communities that
benefit all.”
Share Your Big Ideas: ARPA Survey Closes
Oct. 8
The city of Aurora
is keeping its survey and idea boards open until Oct. 8 at EngageAurora.org/ARPAas part of an
effort to gather feedback from residents, businesses and service providers
on how millions in federal American Rescue Plan Act dollars coming to the
city could have the greatest positive impact on the community.
The American
Rescue Plan Act was signed into law in March 2021 to provide significant
resources to respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency and its
economic impacts. The city of Aurora will receive $65.4 million in one-time
direct federal aid, with additional funding provided for programs related
to rental and housing assistance.
In August, the
city launched the survey and idea boards at EngageAurora.org/ARPA to gather community feedback on how the city should
spend the funds allocated to Aurora. The deadline to participate is Oct. 8.
Based on the
parameters set by the provisions of the American Rescue Plan Act, the city
has identified three main categories for use of these federal funds:
community assistance, infrastructure funding and service preservation. The
survey asks the community to rank their choices of potential priorities in
these three categories, and the idea boards allow participants to write in
their own ideas in the same categories.
With Halloween just around the corner, we want to make sure
everyone has a pumpkin to decorate!
Our first patch is this Thursday, Oct. 7 at Moorhead Park.
Plan to arrive early, as pumpkins and decorating kits are free while
supplies last.
Learn more by visiting AuroraGov.org/Events and
continuing to "Pop-up Pumpkin Patches."
