Fragmented Efforts
Work happens in silos without awareness or alignment.
The Coalition and Capacity Building Network brings churches, nonprofits, businesses, funders, developers, service providers, and community stakeholders together around a shared response to homelessness and housing instability.
Valuable work is already happening across the community. But organizations may not know one another. Churches may not understand available services. Businesses may lack a clear path to contribute. Funders and developers may not be connected to the organizations supporting future residents. Community insight may remain scattered across different institutions. The coalition creates space for these relationships to form and mature.
