Earlier this year, the TA partners met with local community-based organizations including New North Citizen's Council, Deborah Hunt Center, Arise for Social Justice, Way Finders, the City of Springfield Housing & Community Development, and resident advisors. They came together to learn, share, network, and strengthen relations as we journey to advance the goals and objectives of the initiative. Community partners shared their perspectives on the needs, resources, opportunities, and obstacles related to supporting the housing, homelessness, and mental health needs of residents living in Springfield. This is a community-level grant initiative funded by Trinity Health, working to advance racial justice and health equity in Springfield.
