NSAG Meeting Summary (7/13/23)
The Norfolk Safety Advocacy Group (NSAG) held our last meeting on July 13, 2023, at the Park Place Multi-Services Center. The Norfolk Community Services Board presented on the topic of homelessness in Norfolk and also took questions and comments from those in attendance.
Thank you to everyone who attended. There were approximately 23 people in attendance. Thank you also to those who RSVPed and let me know you were not able to attend.
Attached please find a summary of the event as well as two handouts that we received from the Norfolk Community Services Board.

August Meeting
Our next meeting will take place on Thursday, August 31, 2023 at 6:30 PM. It will be held at the Park Place Multi-Services Center (606 29th Street, Norfolk, VA 23510). I do not have a speaker yet, although I am working on obtaining a speaker. If we do not have a speaker, then I (Jennifer) will be leading the meeting; it will be a forum. Participants will share public safety concerns and collectively brainstorm solutions and ideas.

Starting the first day of February, a “love note” from Cupid will magically appear on random doorsteps to kick off this heartwarming event. Inside the note, you’ll find a “Heart” sign and simple instructions to join the fun. For those familiar, this is the same idea as getting Boo’d at Halloween.
A big thanks to all our neighbors who came to the CPRV neighborhood dinner at MJ’s Tavern last month.
To all the phenomenal neighbors of CPRV who generously supported the CPRV Holiday Food Drive, the Social Events Committee and the Civic League Board extend a huge, hearty Thank You!
Ramin Fatehi, the Norfolk Commonwealth’s Attorney, delivered a comprehensive update on national crime trends and the macro factors influencing them. He also highlighted our local deviations from these national trends, providing valuable insights into the successes of the Norfolk Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office in 2023 and sharing upcoming initiatives for 2024. Following Ramin’s engaging presentation, a brief Q&A session allowed for further discussion. Watch the entire meeting below.
Porchella is a free, neighborhood jam that will take place in Colonial Place this year, Dec. 30 from 6-9pm. Neighbors offer up their porches to musicians for 30 min concerts by musicians of all types that offer up their talent! It’s basically reverse caroling. 🙂 Bring cash to tip your musicians as they are donating their time and skills! We will also have Venmo QR codes on the porches to make it easier to tip!
