Advocates of inter-racial neighborhoods in Cincinnati furthermore searched command over the designing method for their groups, though less successfully. During 1971, the racially blended North Avondale Neighborhood Association (NANA) and community assemblies in some other neighborhoods deplored to City Council that their neighborhoods had unwarranted allotments of public housing. This appeared a especially critical topic for community activists in North Avondale because the town had lately aimed at the locality for new public lodgings units.
