Relationships matter! We have seen that the greatest barriers to transformation are broken relationships. We seek to reconcile the city through the currency of relationships as we build partnerships and collaborate on common good initiatives within the 6 sectors of a city. Impact46 often serves as the community connector between sectors to help facilitate initiatives or the collaborative consultant to help with current initiatives.
Lawrenceville is a city that continues to grow and embrace its cultural/racial/socioeconomic diversity as it redevelops. We believe that we must invest in the development of the place as we develop the future generational leaders. This includes expansion of skills, influence, and resources for the sake of impacting and transforming the community into a thriving place with thriving residents.
Impact46 serves as the community broker that facilitates key partnerships within the 6 sectors of a community. We connect like-minded individuals to create common good initiatives to transform local communities. 6 sectors: Local Government, Education, Neighborhoods, Nonprofits, Churches/Worship Centers, and Businesses.

“It’s hard to trust people.” We hear this a lot as men come to the FHC. Through our housing stabilization program we desire for men to find hope and healing. So much of that desire starts with relationships. We are thankful for the men we get to work with at the FHC. We love seeing how R.H. has been impacted in a lot of ways (apparently at least 46 and counting) as well as how his hope in humanity and government are improving. We are thankful to work alongside the @cityoflawrenceville to provide temporary housing, intensive case management, and mental health services to homeless men.

Amazing things happen when you invest in your youth. 5 years of Recast and we are just getting started!

Recast: responding to 2020 community unrest In 2020 our community gathered to protest the events of George Floyd. These protests were organized and coordinated by students. After the protests our city responded by meeting with the students to better understand one question, “why Lawrenceville?”. The organizers didn’t live in Lawrenceville, but knew it was the county seat and people would pay attention. After meeting with the students we became aware of a grant that could help us rebuild while learning from each other. The federal grant was called RECAST: resiliency in communities after stress and trauma. Although we have had amazing experiences and truly built resiliency, it’s important to never forget that the origin came from great pain. As we reflect on 5 years of Recast, we hope these students feel more empowered to create positive change as community leaders.

New Staff Member Announcement! We are excited to introduce you to Katrina Julien, Director of Operations. Katrina comes to us with a wealth of knowledge and experience in operations from her time with The Atlanta Regional Commission and The Community Foundation of Greater Atlanta. We are so excited to welcome her to our team and to the Lawrenceville family. Fun fact: Katrina is quite handy and can even hang drywall and fix electrical problems!

Throwback to 2021 when city council approved the Recast grant! All month long we will be sharing about Recast and all that’s been accomplished over the past 5 years. We’d love it if you dropped us a comment on how Recast impacted you over the past 5 years!
