Supporting clients of color and those with ADA disabilities as they solve code violations on residential or commercial properties.
The Empowered Neighborhoods Program is designed to serve clients who are Black, Indigenous, people of color, or clients with disabilities defined by the ADA who own property and have received a letter from the City’s Enforcement Program requesting that issues on the property be fixed to avoid fees. Read more about the program.
Striving to maintain a clear focus on each client’s goals, we help bridge the gap between each client’s resources and the building/zoning code requirements.:
