IDEAL Communities: HOPE NC’s Collective Impact Approach to Creating Inclusive Housing in North Carolina
March 1 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am
Collective impact is a structured approach to foster collaboration among diverse stakeholders to address complex social problems, through shared goals, measurement, coordinated activities, ongoing communication and dedicated support (Kania & Kramer 2011). In 2022, HOPE NC launched IDEAL Communities, a collective impact initiative that brings together community members, organizations and institutions to advocate for more inclusive and affordable housing options for older adults and adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities (I/DD) in North Carolina, with a focus on building a model inclusive community in the Triangle. In the presentation, attendees will learn about the collective impact framework by examining HOPE NC’s IDEAL Communities initiative as a case study. Through this, we will share initial outcomes, lessons learned and future opportunities of the initiative. Attendees will then have the opportunity to apply what they learn about collective impact to a social problem related to their own work or interests.
Registration for this event is closed. Thanks to everyone who came out on Friday morning!
