Scenario

When community conflicts create permanent divisions between neighbors

Our neighborhood has this ongoing conflict about the homeless encampment in the park and it's divided our community into camps that barely speak to each other anymore. Some of us want more services and compassion, others want enforcement and removal, and we've lost the ability to have nuanced conversations about something that affects all of us daily.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A local crisis has revealed fundamental differences in values that have hardened into opposing identities, destroying the possibility of collective problem-solving.
