Community FocusAreas
5. What tends to happen is that even a small town is large enough that in a given area cleanliness, safety, beauty
caring for vulnerable children caring for vulnerable adults and so on more than one organized group forms, each working in the same area safety beauty children homelessness etc. Often those organizations - each working in the same general area - address slightly different aspects of that general area. The city places trash cans around town, Girl Scout troops go around town picking up trash, schools teach children not to litter. One organization provides temporary shelter for people who are homeless in one part of town, another organization does the same in a different part of town, another provides transitional housing, another provides permanent, supportive housing, another organizes health care for uninsured people who are homeless. Some, most, or all of the organizations working on different aspects of the same general area form an“ecosystem” (some would call it) of effort around an aspect of community life with the aim to build up a Good Place for everyone.
