WHO WE ARE
The Acres Homes Community Advocacy Group aims to preserve and empower the community by educating residents, organizing for key health and housing policy changes, and addressing the immediate needs of our community in environmental health and overall wellness.
Acres Homes Community Advocacy Group (Acres Homes CAG) serves residents in the historic boundaries of the Acres Homes Super Neighborhood. We focus our resources on the youth, seniors, and low-income communities within Acres Homes. Our approach to engaging residents is based on educating and creating communal spaces for residents to gather, learn, and grow together.
The Acres Homes Community Advocacy uses education and communal gatherings to serve our community. We provide opportunities for neighbors to come together to learn about resources that can improve their overall lives and empower them to take charge of their lives.
Our focus is to empower current and future residents in Acres Homes to ensure every neighbor is Healthy, Housed, and Heard.
