BRIDGING THE GAPS
Bridging The Gaps is addressing the next phase of the post-Helene crisis in Western North Carolina – the still-unfolding economic and housing impacts on our community. Thousands of people lost their livelihoods and are in danger of eviction. Through hyper-local organizing, we connect individuals and communities to available resources, and co-create strategies to advocate for meaningful governmental intervention. Our priority remains ensuring the short and long-term security and stability of historically marginalized members of our community.
This project is a collaborative initiative of The People’s Place, OURavl, real eyes consulting with tamarie, llc, DeepWeave.com, The Listening Post Collective (Internews), YMI Cultural Center, GAP AVL, JD Ellison & Co., OG Synergy, and Noir Collective AVL.
