The Home Ownership and Repair Implementation Team manages initiatives to improve housing on the West Side including access to healthy and safer homes, sustainable home ownership, home financing, and residential rental options.

A new team we are building, Family Support, targets issues that affect healthy families including child development, senior services, food access, transportation, and safety.

Partners work together to support existing small and micro businesses that operate on the West Side, foster entrepreneurship and West Side investment, and connect resources for thriving businesses that make the neighborhood better.

This growing team collaborates to improve West Side residents’ engagement with other West Siders and organizations, to support events that bring neighbors together, and to manage communications and outreach efforts of Westside Collaborative partners.

This team was formed to coordinate and organize resources in the community so those in need can easily access support when in crisis. This team has put together a resource map, plan, funds and volunteers to support those in our community when facing disaster.

A team that selects, every season, the “Best of the West”, which is an unsung hero of our community. This is a person that gives their energy to the West Side to make it the best side!
