Project Description

We will learn from community service organizations, capture what has been done and what is continuing to evolve, and put collective activities into one interactive, visual map that will reveal overlaps, interconnectivity, gaps, and opportunities for action-–to help all users understand and make informed decisions.

‍

‍

The mapping process will aid the community at large to gain both individual and collective clarity and to develop a collective story of the present state of our community services sector, particularly those active in the wake of the 2023 Maui wildfires. This process will also assist with interconnections and interdependencies among organizations and sectors, produce materials to help strategically attract additional support, and to inform long-term strategy for Mauiʻs continued recovery and return to abundance.

‍

Purpose

• Assess the capacity of organizations that continue to be active in recoveryCreate a Community Services Map that will be a key tool to inform a strategy for long-term comprehensive and integrated solutions (e.g., for the ecosystem of Mauiʻs economic recovery)
• Create a shared understanding to facilitate organizations and cross-sector partners in their collective action and collaboration
• Promote shared understanding about our community services industry, including who works in different spaces and connections, and inform decisions on priorities, policies, funding, and  strategic partners
