Violence Prevention and Intervention
In 2024, the Steering Committee established an additional subcommittee. It exists to establish the Cook County Resilience Hub in Harvey, but this funding has stopped. This group was collaborating with the Cook County Department of Environment and Sustainability to start up and operate the hub. It was a site in Harvey that provided safety, services, and shelter in the event of a large-scale crisis or disaster. Even when there is no crisis, the goal was to provide resources.
Resident Advisory Boards
The Resident Advisory Board (RAB) meets monthly on the 1st Wednesday of the month from 6pm-7:30pm at Restoration Ministries. These Harvey residents advise on, and participate in, Network activities. They keep Network-community connections active in order to promote the goals of Harvey residents.
