November 2022: Initial Community Feedback

Community feedback from three focus groups and initial survey results through October 14 is informing the shelter's physical design.

Community members noted the importance of:

• Spaces designed to be healing, welcoming, durable, attractive, and clean
• Personal hygiene amenities to meet basic needs
• Adequate trash disposal
• Using trauma-informed design

They also shared thoughts on key considerations for selecting a site operator and shaping a future Good Neighbor Agreement. Results were shared with Washington County and Carleton Hart Architecture at the November Design Kick-Off
