November/December 2018 LDCHA RESIDENT SERVICES My name is Danae Nelson, and I am excited to serve as the new Americorps Member at Resident Services. I will be assisting housing applicants with looking for community resources and completing applications and Section 8 voucher holders looking for units. My background is in child welfare, specifically working with young adults who have aged out of the foster care system. I graduated from Washburn with a Bachelor of Social Work and am working on a Master of Social Work degree at KU. I’m a HUGE college basketball fan, which makes being in Lawrence all that much better. I am eager to start this journey with LDCHA residents! Not able to make it to a focus group? Contact Christina at 785-842-1533 or at [email protected] to set up a one-on-one meeting. Gift cards are available for these meetings as well (1 per person). Christina Gentry, Community Liaison with the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, wants to talk to you! She is seeking input from working or work-able adults on employment barriers. What makes getting and keeping a job difficult? What would make it easier? She wants your input! Christina is focusing on Edgewood and Eastside neighborhood residents for her project over the next two years. Christina will host “Occupation Conversation” focus groups at the Huppee every Wednesday in November from 6-7 pm. Call to RSVP, 785-842-1533. Participants will receive dinner, childcare, and a gift card for attending (1 per person). Come add your voice to the conversation!
