Creating Space for Community Solutions

August 2025 Newsletter

Our core values at Access Services lead us to give of ourselves, elevate the voices of those we serve and advocate for better opportunities for them to live the lives they envision for themselves. When we partner with our community, the solutions become limitless. 

This summer, with funding support from HealthSpark Foundation, our Housing & Homeless and Intersect Divisions launched a series of free town hall meetings to bring the community together to address the increasing housing instability in our communities. As homelessness rises and service coordination gaps persist, there is a recognition that faith leaders and community connectors are eager to act but need tools to do so effectively.

The next three town hall sessions will be held online making it easy to join and be a part of this movement even in the midst of the transition from summer vacations to fall activities.

Mark your calendars for the upcoming sessions!
