What if the work of helping families thrive today could directly shape the future of the neighborhoods they call home?

One integrated model. Two directions of influence. Growing Together is reimagining place-based community development through two-way quarterbacking—an innovative approach that connects the real-time experiences and needs of children and families, surfaced through integrated student supports, with strategic investments in housing, economic development, and neighborhood assets. By bringing these traditionally separate approaches closer together, we can respond to families' immediate needs while addressing the underlying neighborhood conditions that create barriers to opportunity in the first place—meeting needs today while building a neighborhood where fewer families will face those same barriers tomorrow.
