City of Missoula- Community Planning, Development & Innovation

Details
Project Title A Place to Call Home Branding/Action Plan
Project Topics Customer Service & Account Management Data Management Marketing Reporting, Financial Planning & Analysis
Skills & Expertise
Project Synopsis: Challenge/Opportunity
The city of Missoula has an adopted housing policy, a Place to Call Home that set goals and priorities for meeting emerging and existing housing needs.  The policy is technical and robust.  At 100 pages, it is not the most accessible document for people with limited housing knowledge, and it can be overwhelming to read through.  Since adoption, we've made significant progress but don't have a clear way to communicate that to the community.  There is an opportunity to build an accessible brand around the city's housing work to engage the community and facilitate more participation and buy-in.  
Project Synopsis: Activities/Actions Required
We are open to the recommendations of the students.  Our initial expectations include graphics/one pagers, branding, an outcomes dashboard, etc.  
Project Synopsis: Expected Results
This project will be successful if there are cohesive materials that the community can turn to understand the city's housing goals and investments without a ton of jargon.  The community's ability to actively participate in an issue that impacts so many is vitally important to this project.
