Council Conversations
The 2024 Council Conversation Series are focused on Affordable Housing
The City of Hendersonville invites community members to participate in a series of Affordable Housing listening sessions scheduled for September and October. These sessions are designed to gather feedback directly from residents and those facing housing challenges, helping to identify the community’s housing needs. The insights collected will contribute to the development of the City’s Strategic Housing Plan.
These meetings are part of the Hendersonville City Council’s annual Council Conversation series, where elected officials engage with residents in their neighborhoods to better understand their concerns and help inform governing and policy decisions.
