The re-opening of all community spaces, social events, and community meetings sought to combat social isolation. We worked to bridge the digital divide through a local partnership by providing free broadband internet to two new communities totaling 204 units. The end of pandemic-era snap benefits highlighted the need for expanded partnerships with food banks, local produce companies, churches, and grocery delivery services. On-site healthcare services including health screenings, access to registered nurses, vaccination clinics, and doctor presentations were expanded in several communities. Safety and security services were enhanced across the portfolio and were supported by two additional grants.
