Please provide a brief update on your progress toward your proposed CWB goals in the last reporting period:
December was a slow month due to the holidays but continued to work and building momentum by continuing our support to the UHAB incubator and hosting a session at our site.
What constraints or limitations, if any, did you experience in the last reporting period?
Limited availability due to the holiday season resulted in fewer participants for our incubator session at La Casa Resource Center, with only two attendees. We will be reaching out to folks and confirming attendance for future in-person sessions at The Resurrection Project.
What opportunities, if any, did you take advantage of in the last reporting period?
The Resurrection Project met with Jenna Pollack to work out some technical and logistical needs for the incubator sessions. We also consulted with Robin Semer from The Little Village Co-op to plan for a virtual workshop for co-op members about personal finances and shared equity. We want everyone to have financial stability, and this educational content is in line with our cooperative engagement.
