Priorities & Programs
MCAC’s direct community support is organized into five priority areas:
Our Framework in Action
The framework is activated through a community-driven process:
-
Community members' solutions emerge from the monthly town hall and program work.
-
The Advisory Board informs how to operationalize the strategic direction, ensuring it is rooted in impacted communities’ solutions.
-
Decision-making in the large town hall group is typically by majority vote, while sub-groups use a consensus-based model.
