Accessing available local resources can be challenging and inequitable. Finding the right program can take time and access to technology, two resources that can be in short supply for individuals seeking support.
Community Alliance of Resources, Education, and Support (CARES) is a community-centered nonprofit that uses data and technology to close the access gap between individuals and the local programs designed to support them.
When members of the community need help, finding help should not be challenging during a time of crisis. CARES provides verifiable, local community resources tailored to the individual's particular needs.
By building intelligent tools, identifying service gaps, and improving equitable awareness, CARES strengthens community outcomes across multiple need categories.

The Database
We are building a database of available community resources. CARES is going beyond a basic directory to build an AI-powered platform that matches individuals to the best-fit programs for their specific needs based on program availability across a range of support categories.
By partnering with nonprofits and local government agencies, we can improve access to support services.
The Information
By creating local community resource hubs, CARES provides nonprofits and government agencies with information to identify the services and programs most in demand within a region, as well as service gaps for supports that are needed but not met by existing programs.

From personal experience navigating the challenge of finding the right support services, the Community Alliance of Resources Education and Support (CARES) was founded with a mission to improve community support access.
Our solution to a fragmented, often inequitable system of access is to create technological tools that bring together a wide range of available resources into a single, verified, and easily accessible database.
By analyzing data on the local services most searched for, accessed, matched, and missing within any given community, we can surface opportunities to bring much-needed support services to a region and to track the impact and outcomes for individuals seeking help.
Community Alliance of Resources Education and Support is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization.
