Part of the "LEVEL GROUND" initiative
Establish Thrive Hubs, an integrated network of community-centered infrastructure facilities strategically embedded within high-priority redeveloped neighborhood footprints (Nellie B., Bethel, and Brookside West). Operating under a multi-agency public-private partnership model, each centralized hub delivers holistic, under-one-roof wraparound services tailored to unlock lifelong self-sufficiency. The facility programming blends localized preventative health/mental wellness screenings, adult financial literacy and credit repair workshops, GED preparation, digital literacy training, and direct access to computer lab environments.
Total number of neighborhood-embedded community center spaces completely renovated, modernized, and technologically optimized into active hubs.
Minimum baseline matching capital value successfully secured through historical ACC grant networks to kickstart Pilot Phase 1 setups.
Monthly tracking metric measuring the aggregated volume of neighborhood residents actively using localized hub resources per site.
Minimum number of core staff coordinators and multi-agency service delivery representatives fully onboarded to manage on-site programming.
