"Through Collaboration Institute 3.0, East Lake Initiative learned a tremendous amount about the benefit of serving the whole family.

Our organization has always understood the importance of holistic community development, but this experience has offered us an opportunity to step back and truly create a plan that will help mothers achieve economic stability," says Paige Jordan.
"We have heard real-life stories of the pitfalls that come with trying to better one’s situation. We have gained insight into the importance of social capital, or a community of peers, when walking through a tremendous life change. And we are realizing how much success we can achieve by offering multiple services, in one place, simultaneously instead of simply having knowledge of other agencies and offering referrals."
Paige Jordan is the Director of Development at the Eastlake Initiative, a partner in the Collaboration Institute Birmingham Family Hub, funded by The Women’s Fund
