Integrate a clinic-without-walls so mental health check-ins and chronic disease care travel with families during relocations.

Document “after the welcome” stories so funders see the quiet wins—first paychecks, school enrollments, healing circles—that justify longer timelines.

Adopt a hybrid accompaniment model where trained neighbors stay paired with families for a year and have micro-grants they can deploy without paperwork.

Launch a mutual-aid wallet where locals and newcomers contribute skills instead of cash; everyone can withdraw help when they host workshops or babysit.
