Senator Peterson used an announcement on the Senate floor to invite members to an Oak Ridge Neighborhood reception in the rotunda from 1:30 to 5 p.m. He described Oak Ridge as a 17-acre affordable housing campus in downtown Des Moines that serves nearly 800 residents, more than half of whom are children, and emphasized on-site human services and programs aimed at helping families achieve financial independence.
Peterson listed specific programs including Oak Academy early learning (serving over 130 children), 21st Century Learning Center after-school programming, and the Oak Futures employment program for youths 14–24.
