By offering privacy, dignity, and comprehensive services, these programs empower individuals to rebuild their lives with stability and hope. At Innovat3, we believe in the power of community-driven solutions like these, which prioritize holistic support and pave the way for lasting, positive change. This is the impact our communities need now, more than ever. #CommunityFirst #Innovat3Impact #HousingSolutions

Why Is Knowing Our Neighbors A Strategy? One of our three strategies is We Care Neighbors. It is a way to connect neighbors to each other and neighborhoods to one another. It helps us remember that we share this space (this building or block) and that we share this city, town or village. That we live in a shared world and that our relationships to each other create the quality of that lived experience. Here is a story that was recently shared that I think we will all relate to. A couple moved into a new neighborhood at the top of the cul de sac up on the hill. A few weeks go by and they see no one. Not one neighbor. They decide to invite everyone to come over. "Next Saturday, bring a hot plate, our doors are open." Saturday comes and every single person living in that cul de sac - about 15 homes - walks up the hill with a hot dish and meets their neighbors. Many of them didn't know one another. They demonstrated a human truth .... we want to connect. Two weeks later, one of the neighbors down the hill encountered threatening young men at her driveway. Where did she go? Up the street to her new friends' home. She banged on their door at 11:30pm looking for safety and they gave it to her. That is why actively connecting our neighbors and neighborhoods is a strategy. It binds us together in relationship. It allows us to activate the possibility for friendship, and to reach out when we need help. It heals our world by healing our street or our building complex. It is a strategy to heal a city or town block by block. Because a city or town that is really one big neighborhood is more resilient, creative and capable of addressing opportunities and challenges .... together. #WeCare #Neighborhoods #Community #PotLuck

At CarePortal, we strive to embody a transformative approach to generosity, shifting from traditional methods like mailers and galas to a deeply personal connection. We call it Care Sharing. It's about direct engagement and honest connections, where communities of faith become pillars of support for the vulnerable, businesses invest in their neighborhoods, and kids and families are wrapped around in care by their local community members. Lifting one another up in action, prayer, and love. We see the power of collective action, where every contribution, big or small, directly meets urgent needs in real time. Together, through Care Sharing, we can make a meaningful difference where it counts the most. https://bit.ly/34aon41
