🎧 In this episode of Housing for Good, we’re joined by Dalton Black and Amanda Lowe from United Way of Harvey and Marion Counties.

From housing and childcare to food access and advocacy, this conversation explores what it really takes to support communities in meaningful, lasting ways. Dalton and Amanda share how their team is working across multiple initiatives - including housing alliances, early childhood programs, and community health efforts - to address complex, interconnected challenges.

We also dive into the realities behind poverty, the importance of meeting people where they are, and why collaboration across organizations is critical to creating real change. One powerful takeaway - it’s not just about helping people downstream, it’s about going upstream and fixing the systems that cause the problem in the first place.

If you’ve ever wondered how community impact actually happens on the ground, this episode offers a thoughtful and honest look behind the scenes.
