Our work focuses on five community-influenced pillars: Healthcare, Food Access and Security, Housing, Generational Care, and Community Building.
The AWC envisions a patient-centered healthcare collaborative that addresses social determinants of health.
Working with community-based organizations, grocers, and growers to build a food access system that honors culture.
Imagining and creating innovative pathways for wealth-building, financial literacy, and home ownership.

Prioritizing authentic community engagement and joint decision-making to serve low-income, BIPOC community members.
