The City of Norfolk is building community-level resilience through a collaborative initiative, Neighbors Helping Neighbors. Under the program, Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority (NRHA) Midrise apartment residents participate in a three-week emergency preparedness workshop to learn about disaster readiness, neighborhood safety, fire safety, and first aid. 

Last year, the City of Norfolk concluded a comprehensive affordable housing study to determine how to best direct our efforts as a city to achieve goal three of the Resilience Strategy: advance initiatives to connect communities, strengthen neighborhoods, and deconcentrate poverty.
