Design Assistance

The Design Center offers technical assistance to communities in a variety of ways. Throughout the web site you will find information, facts, and educational materials. Publications, neighborhood tours, links to other organizations offering technical assistance, and other valuable resources are located in the reference center.

With funding from The McKnight Foundation, we run a Direct Design Assistance program that provides up to six working days of design assistance to selected communities. A link to descriptions of recent DDAs is at the bottom of the page.
