Join us for a dynamic and engaging community convening with the St. Louis City Vacancy Strategy Initiative (VSI) partnership on Thursday, August 15 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Deaconess Foundation! We'll share progress updates, discuss challenges and successes, and outline our next steps. CDA announced the Vacancy Strategy Initiative with the St. Louis Vacancy Collaborative in August 2023.
