Connecting people with support, encouragement, and local resources
At The Staggers Foundation — in honor of Da Vontay Da Shawn Staggers Sr. — we believe community strength begins when individuals can access what they need to move forward: practical resources, compassionate encouragement, and consistent support. Our work focuses on building bridges between people and the services that empower them to thrive.
What we do
Direct referrals: We connect individuals and families to vetted local services — housing assistance, food programs, mental health counseling, legal aid, job training, and veteran resources — so help is timely and appropriate.
Warm handoffs: Rather than sending people to listings, our staff and volunteers make active introductions and follow up to reduce barriers and ensure services are utilized.
Peer encouragement: Trained peer mentors provide emotional support, goal-setting guidance, and accountability to help participants navigate transitions and stay engaged with resources.
Community navigation: We maintain up-to-date, localized resource maps and a network of partner organizations to streamline access and minimize duplication of effort.
Outreach and education: Workshops, community forums, and informational materials increase awareness of available programs and teach people how to advocate for themselves.
How we measure impact
Outcomes-focused tracking: We monitor successful linkages, service uptake, and progress toward participant-defined goals.
Feedback loops: Regular participant and partner feedback shapes program improvements and ensures services meet real needs.
Local partnership growth: We track collaboration rates with community organizations to expand the reach and depth of support.
Who we serve Our programs prioritize individuals and families facing economic hardship, houselessness, justice-system involvement, mental health challenges, and other barriers to stability. Services are offered with dignity, confidentiality, and cultural responsiveness.
How to connect Contact our local offices or attend one of our community sessions to speak with a navigator. If you represent a community organization and want to partner, we welcome coordinated referral pathways and joint programming.
Our commitment We honor Da Vontay Da Shawn Staggers Sr. by ensuring that no one in our community faces barriers alone. Through sustained relationships, clear pathways to services, and a culture of encouragement, The Staggers Foundation helps people find the resources they need to rebuild, recover, and succeed.
