Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
AURORA COMMONS CULTIVATES COMMUNITY AND BELONGING TO FOSTER HEALTH AND HEALING AMONG OUR NEIGHBORS EXPERIENCING POVERTY AND HOMELESSNESS. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2021/2022 AURORA COMMONS PARTNERED WITH HARBORVIEW MEDICAL CENTER/UW MEDICINE TO OPEN ANOTHER MEDICAL CLINIC ON OUR SITE, THE AURORA CLINIC, THAT SERVES ALL PEOPLE. AURORA COMMONS WELCOMED 13,854 VISITS FROM OUR NEIGHBORS EXPERIENCING POVERTY & HOMELESSNESS, A 20% INCREASE FROM THE YEAR BEFORE. OUR TEAM-BASED ADVOCACY LEAVES LOTS OF ROOM FOR PEOPLE TO COME AS THEY ARE AND SIT DOWN WITH AN ADVOCATE. THIS LOW-BARRIER APPROACH HAS HELPED US BETTER CONNECT WITH THOSE WHO COME TO AURORA COMMONS EACH WEEK. OUR GOAL IS TO CONTINUE TO RE-IMAGINE HOW WE CAN BETTER SERVE OUR AMAZING NEIGHBORS. AFTER OVER 10 YEARS OF HOLDING THE STORIES OF OUR NEIGHBORS WE RECOGNIZE BOTH THE COMPLEXITIES OF EACH INDIVIDUAL NARRATIVE AS WELL AS SOME OF THE COMMONALITIES THAT EMERGE AS BARRIERS TO SEEKING CARE AND TAKING STEPS TOWARD STABILITY. WE OFFER MANY PRACTICAL RESOURCES FOR OUR NEIGHBORS WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO ACCESS BASIC SURVIVAL NEEDS, HOWEVER, AT THE HEART OF OUR PHILOSOPHY OF CARE WE KNOW THAT OVER TIME AS THESE NEIGHBORS BUILD TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR STAFF, THEY WILL FEEL SAFE ENOUGH TO ADDRESS THEIR MORE COMPLEX NEEDS AND OVERCOME THESE CHALLENGES AND BARRIERS THEY FACE WHEN TRYING TO NAVIGATE THE LARGER NETWORK OF SOCIAL SERVICES IN SEATTLE.
