community acceptance

Group welcomes you

Community acceptance is the approval or embrace of something by a local population or social group.

The term appears often in discussions of development projects, new residents, or policy changes: The wind farm struggled to gain community acceptance.

It implies that those affected have come to terms with—or actively welcome—what's being introduced.
