The Collective Impact Approach

The collective impact approach is built on the belief that cross-organizational efforts to solve community challenges maximizes the opportunity for sustainable impact. 

This approach embodies the phrase “it takes a village” and has inspired Frontline Response, DeKalb County leaders, and other organizations and individual stakeholders to create collective impact initiatives that support the unhoused and affordable housing communities.
