312 households. Reported as-is.
That number is not adjusted for aspirational reach. It is the count of households who completed at least one program cycle and documented a self-sufficiency milestone in our records.

Community partners and local organizations who co-facilitated at least one program session. Partnerships documented, not counted from a contact list.
Adults who completed a skills workshop and secured or retained employment within 90 days. Tracked through direct follow-up, not assumed.
Youth participants who completed the full mentorship cycle and no longer required active program support by the end of the cycle.
Four active programs, one reporting standard
Skills and livelihood workshops
24 sessions across 3 neighborhood sites. Topics set by participant intake surveys, not by staff preference. Facilitators were local tradespeople and educators.
Youth mentorship track
12-week cycles, two cohorts per year. Mentors are community residents, not imported professionals. Exit criteria: participant-defined, not foundation-defined.
Food and resource distribution
Weekly distribution at two fixed sites. Volume logged per session. No means-testing at the door — neighborhood residents direct.
Community project support
Volunteer labor and materials for 7 neighborhood-led projects. Foundation supplied capacity; project direction stayed with the residents who initiated each one.
What held, and what didn't
Where the model held
Where it didn't
Cohorts where participants set their own exit criteria completed at higher rates than cohorts with foundation-defined benchmarks. Local facilitators outperformed outside specialists on attendance retention.
One workshop site closed mid-cycle due to venue loss. We did not find a replacement in time; that cohort did not complete. Eleven participants are unaccounted for in the follow-up data.
Partner organizations that co-facilitated from session one stayed through the full cycle. Those brought in mid-cycle dropped off at twice the rate.
Food distribution at the second site ran below capacity for two months after a logistics gap. We logged the shortfall. It is in the record.
If you want to add capacity to work that reports this way, there is a specific role for you. We will tell you exactly where you would fit before you commit.
