Join Mithun partner Deb Guenther for “Design Matters When Healing Communities,” a discussion about the work of Mithun and Gonzales Goodale Architect with non-profit developers LA Family Housing and Many Mansions, focusing on the need for, and possibility of, quality supportive housing strengthening neighborhoods and the community’s fabric. This approach includes overcoming NIMBY-ism through community outreach and engagement; political leadership buy-in and support; investment in quality and innovative buildings and landscape; the coordination and implementation of supportive services and social interaction; and the creation of successful Community Assets which heal the client and neighborhood at large. All of these can be achieved by design.

Presenting with Deb are Daniel Huynh and Amy Cole of LA Family Housing, Ali Barar of Gonzalez Goodale Architects, and Emily Martinuik, a resident of community supportive housing.
