Summary
Senator Peterson asked colleagues to visit an Oak Ridge Neighborhood reception in the Rotunda and described the campus’s housing, early-learning programs and services serving roughly 800 residents, more than half children and a high proportion with low incomes.
Senator Peterson invited members of the Iowa Senate to a reception for Oak Ridge Neighborhood in the Capitol Rotunda and described services the organization provides to hundreds of Central Iowa residents.
"Friends, I'm pleased to introduce Oak Ridge Neighborhood," Peterson said, urging colleagues to visit the reception today from 1:30 to 5 p.m. He described Oak Ridge as a 17-acre campus in downtown Des Moines that provides affordable housing, on-site human services and programs including Oak Academy and after‑school learning centers. Peterson said the campus supports nearly 800 residents, more than half of whom are children and that 99 percent are low-income.
The announcement emphasized Oak Ridge’s role in workforce and career services, youth programs and supports to help families increase financial independence. Peterson asked senators to stop by the Rotunda to learn more about the organization’s programs.
The reception is scheduled for this afternoon in the Rotunda; no formal legislative action on Oak Ridge Neighborhood was recorded in the session excerpt.
