Action Teams

Our volunteer action teams help us to implement the overall work of A.C.T. Now Lane by bringing together a range of expertise to help implement and act on collective strategies. With a focus on NOT duplicating efforts, but rather finding areas among current efforts to: collaborate, engage new ideas and resources and communicate the work happening to simplify access to information.  Therefore, the coalition strives to:

  • Connect to relevant community groups related to housing, homeless services, and safety response 
  • Launch “Action Teams” only when specific gaps and needs are not being addressed by a current community group.
