The project will impact residents before, during, and after its implementation (Gramling 1999). The Community Design Workshop has strived to minimize the impact before implementation by engaging the residents in the planning process and by providing visualization of their ideas and concerns. A case study, such as the relocation of residents and neighborhoods after the flooding in Grand Forks, further emphasized the need to minimize the impact after implementation by maintaining the relationships with friends, churches, schools, and other community-defining connections that residents have established over a lifetime. This concern to minimize the impact on the residents, as well as the need for affordable housing which was revealed by the assessment survey, provided the basis for the Workshop's intervention strategies. These were to move existing houses where feasible, to provide new, affordable single-family houses where necessary, and to plan new micro-neighborhoods to meet the specific requirements of residents in the project area
