Mending Holes in the Local Safety Net.
The Safety Net Alliance of Northern Kentucky is a collaborative of 150+ nonprofits, faith based organizations, government agencies, and funders working together to provide service to those in need more efficiently and mend the holes in the local safety net. We meet once a month so our Partner Agencies can network and get to know resources in Kentucky, we have specialized committees, and we communicate through our email alerts. This also establishes a meeting ground for future collaboration between partners.
What is a Safety Net?
A safety net service is a basic resource such as food, clothing, shelter, or healthcare. Many Safety Net Alliance Partner Agencies provide these services to area individuals and families. We also have partners that support the work of these direct service providers, such as government agencies, funders, and for-profit companies.
The “net” part of “safety net” reflects the network of care we have created by combining our forces and working together. Poverty is a multi-faceted issue which is most effectively battled with a diverse array of voices and expertise. Another advantage of collaboration is that each player is able to be an expert in their own particular field
