needs (e.g., food, housing, transport); health, mental health, and dental care;
adoption, parenting, and pregnancy supports; economic aid; immigration
support and legal advocacy; domestic or intimate partner violence support;
aging, disability and caregiving; addiction, substance abuse, and support).
Identify at least 4 community agencies and resources local to where you live,
related to each specific category of support.
Create and submit a document that lists the community resources by support categories
(i.e., housing, food, economic support, childcare and education, transportation). For
each of the resources/agencies you identify, please include the following:
■ What is the resource? What need does it address?
■ Who administers/manages the resource? Is this service
publicly or privately funded?
■ Who is the resource available to? Are there eligibility
requirements? A specific geographic service area?
■ How much does it cost?
■ Are there potential language barriers for possible
clients? Are these addressed?
■ How do folks access the resource? (i.e., in person,
online, by phone, appointment only, walk-in)
■ What is the contact information for this
resource/agency?
2. Collect your resources on a map that geographically locates your resources. Drop a
pin for each community resource. In this pin, please include the name of the resource
and a link, if possible. If you're not sure how to do that, check out these instructions for

■ After gathering these resources, what do you notice? I
want you to think critically here, applying a reflection and
critique that accounts for varying access to means,
resources, and power within a dominant social hierarchy.
■ What kinds of support are missing?
■ Are there barriers to access you find concerning? (Ex:
Are the resources accessible to someone who doesn't
have a car? Could they be accessed by someone with
low tech literacy or low/no access to technology like a
phone or personal computer? Are the resources
gathered in a certain part of town or neighborhood?)
