We are currently focused on three issues that affect the people in our community. Here are our researched solutions that we are calling on our leaders to implement:

• Affordable Housing Trust Fund

  In 2023, we pushed Unified Government Commissioners to

  create Wyandotte County’s first-ever Affordable Housing Trust

  Fund. By May 2025, that fund has grown to over $400,000—and

  now we've secured commitments from three commissioners to

  invest $2 million annually, dramatically expanding affordable

  housing.

• Advocacy for the Unhoused

  Permanent Homeless Shelter:

  Wyandotte County urgently needs a permanent shelter for our

  unhoused neighbors. In 2025, we secured firm commitments

  from local officials to construct a safe and accessible shelter,

  ensuring dignity and safety for everyone in need.

  Ending Chronic Homelessness:

  We rallied support and secured commitments to implement the

  proven Built for Zero model, putting Wyandotte County firmly

  on track to end chronic homelessness by 2030.

• Elder Care

  Seeing the gap in elder support, we pushed local officials and

  regional leaders to act. Our advocacy helped Wyandotte County

  achieve Bronze Level Recognition in 2024 for assessing age-

  friendly practices. We're now urging them forward to Gold Level

  Recognition in 2025, which requires real policy changes to

  support aging in place.

• Community Violence Intervention

  With homicide the leading cause of death among our youth, we

  successfully championed Community Violence Intervention

  strategies. Now, we actively partner with ThrYve to:

  Build strong, community-based safety teams

  Support youth and families dealing with trauma

  Empower youth leadership

  Strengthen neighborhood connections and resilience
