It started with a survey. But for neighbors in Thomasville Heights, it became something much more. Through the Flourishing Neighborhood Index (FNI), Thomasville Heights residents have been going door to door, listening to their neighbors and learning more about the community they call home. And what they've shared about the experience is powerful. Surveyors described how personal these conversations became. They weren't just collecting responses. They were getting to know neighbors they hadn't connected with before, hearing about the challenges some households were facing, and helping connect people to resources. Along the way, something else was growing: relationships, trust, and a stronger sense of responsibility for one another. That's what makes this work so meaningful. While we await the analyzed survey results, we're already seeing something important: the process of understanding a neighborhood can also help strengthen it. We're grateful to the Thomasville Heights neighbors leading this work and to our partners at @PurposeBuiltCommunities. Because community knowledge isn't just about what we learn, it's also about the connections we build along the way. #FCSAtlanta #FCS #SoutheastAtlanta #HistoricSouthAtlanta #ThomasvilleHeights #FlourishingNeighborhoodIndex
