About this Event

Join the Opening Ceremony of the Akron Civic Assembly on Housing!


At the University of Akron’s James A. Rhodes Arena, residents, community leaders, and city officials will come together to launch a new chapter in how Akron solves problems.
This is the formal beginning of a process where representative Akronites, chosen by lottery, will study the housing challenges facing our city, deliberate trade-offs, and present practical recommendations that leaders are prepared to act on.
The ceremony celebrates the community effort that made this possible and marks a shared commitment to building the future of housing in Akron — together.


RSVP for this free event today! On site childcare will be available.
