 Community Advocacy and Support

Welcome to our public EDUCATION forum where we focus on government benefits, STATE ASSISTANCE programs, and community services that target under-served and at-risk people, organizations, neighborhoods, and communities.


Everyone faces challenges at one time or another many times unexpectedly.  Let us help you navigate the care, resources and programs available to get you through sudden emergencies and the hard times.   We provide auto injury case management services, file disability claims,  facilitate information and referral, and review the sociopolitical topics that affect everyday lives.  A strengths-based approach is the foundation of our service delivery and support format to expedite growth, secure basic needs, enhance self-sufficiency and financial independence.

Service-oriented...society focused

The Community Advocate Network of Michigan began as an initiative to foster community engagement and organize around important social issues.  Now the campaign has been expanded to influencer mediums optimizing the power of creator platforms and social media as tools to inform, coordinate, and mobilize the public.  The goal is to motivate people to action to get involved in their neighborhood associations, community organizations, and local and national governments.  But, most importantly, the mission is to facilitate public education and provide resources that enhance the socioeconomic functioning of individuals, families, groups, communities, and organizations.
RESOURCES
