Our Priorities: Basic needs, income creation, stable housing, empowered communities All thriving communities start with meeting the individual basic needs of its members. That starts with ensuring certainty when it comes to shelter, food and health. As basic needs are established, individuals can focus on development through mentoring, skill building, work experience and entrepreneurial growth.
These activities enable the creation of income for both the individual, as well as those they serve and employ. Income creation and access to affordable housing allows individuals to find stability through stable housing in neighborhoods where connections are further strengthened.
Stable, skilled, connected individuals contribute to the growth of empowered communities that give back to their neighborhoods, address systemic issues head on and ensure the longevity of where they call home. This is growth. If your organization aligns with our priorities and meets our eligibility criteria , you'll be directed to our online application.
