In collaboration with Community Development Partners (CDP) and David Baker Architects (DBA), and in partnership with Portland State University’s Center for Public Interest Design (CPID), we led a 9-month asset-based community development process to identify neighborhood service needs and gaps, foster partnerships with local nonprofit organizations, and build community support for a 160-unit affordable housing development in San Jose. The co-design process included stakeholder interviews, a commercial space design workshop, an accessibility design workshop, and a community-wide engagement meeting.
“At CDP, we are committed to engaging with the local communities and neighborhoods for all of our projects. We believe this provides the best outcomes, not only for the project itself, but most importantly for the future residents who will call it home. Our project at 525 N. Capitol is our first in San Jose, and it was critical that we had a rooted and established partner to support our community engagement work. CivicMakers was a diligent, compassionate, and creative partner, supporting these efforts in a way that aligned with our company values and mission.”
