What is the Resident Advisory Council?
The Resident Advisory Council (RAC) provides Community Roots residents with a structured platform to collaborate directly with Community Roots staff and leadership. The RAC plays a key role in shaping policies, programs, and community initiatives by ensuring resident voices are heard.
While only members can vote, guests are welcome to attend and observe. Additionally, all residents are encouraged to offer comments during meetings.
