We help build the bridges families need to move forward — and reshape the systems around them.
How We Work
We approach revitalization through a three-phase framework designed to help families and communities restore what’s been lost and build what’s next.

Stabilize
We help families access the essentials that build a strong foundation — housing, healthcare, food, and a sense of safety — so they can begin to plan forward.

Equip
We connect individuals to tools, training, and supportive networks that open doors to education, career pathways, and financial confidence.

Thrive
We invest in long-term community-led growth and entrepreneurship, so families and neighborhoods can flourish on their own terms.
What We’re Working Toward
Your support fuels transformation, from the inside out.

Housing
Providing safe and affordable housing options.
70%
of extremely low-income families spend over half their income on rent.

Workforce
Creating job opportunities and training programs for the community.
2x
Individuals who receive coordinated employment and financial coaching are nearly twice as likely to achieve lasting job placement. (Urban Institute, Center on Labor, Human Services, and Population)

Belonging
Creating spaces where every person is seen, valued, and connected.
29%
of low-income families say they avoid institutions because they don’t feel heard.

Every community has the potential to thrive. What’s missing isn’t effort; it’s access, connection, and trust. IWAM was created to help bridge those gaps, so that families and neighborhoods have the support they need to move forward — and keep going.
