Tedford Housing is launching an initiative to increase how the community can get involved with the nonprofit organization. Friends of Tedford offers vocal, hands-on and quiet, hands-off roles.

From hosting a book club or discussion group to sending letters to local or state legislators, Friends of Tedford was intended to support advocates in any capacity in which they are interested in advocating for Tedford Housing, the release stated.
The first meeting of Friends of Tedford is Thursday, Aug. 12 at 5 p.m. at Flight Deck Brewing. Visit tedfordhousing.org/advocate/ for more information.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
