Sponsor Civik Access

Fund the shared space where Durham turns access problems into usable truth.

Care coordination works when the next step is clear, reachable, and true right now.

But systems drift. Intake pauses. Requirements change. Capacity fills. And the burden falls on coordinators and clients to figure it out—again and again.

Civik Access is the structured forum where different groups come together to surface "group truth" about access—then capture it so it can be used and maintained.

What you're sponsoring

You're funding the ability for people who experience the system from different angles to align on what's actually happening:

  • •clients and community members
  • •care coordinators and case managers
  • •providers and intake teams
  • •agency partners and local builders

Most communities don't have a consistent place where those perspectives get compared, reconciled, and turned into something practical.

Civik Access is that place.
A facilitated, structured forum designed to surface shared truth about barriers and steps—without turning into a town hall or a complaint session.

Sponsorship supports:

  • •facilitation and station hosting
  • •structured capture so truth doesn't get lost
  • •continuity so conversations compound over time
  • •an online space where the conversation can continue between gatherings

What happens at Civik Access

Civik Access is organized into stations, each focused on one corridor (housing, crisis, food, reentry, etc.).

At stations, we capture things like:

  • •where people are getting stuck (which step)
  • •what changed since last month (hours, intake, capacity, requirements)
  • •what makes steps hard in real conditions (no ID, no phone, transport, language, safety)
  • •where handoffs break (no confirmation, wrong contact, lost referral)
  • •what actually works (workarounds, alternates, call-ahead practices)

The goal isn't discussion for its own sake.
It's shared clarity that carries forward.

Sponsor recognition

Sponsors receive recognition in two places:

1) On the Civik website

  • •Logo + name listed on the Civik Access sponsor section
  • •Sponsor level badge (Community / Corridor / Anchor)

2) In the online Civik Access forum

Sponsors are recognized as "Sponsor Challenge" supporters of ongoing community conversations—helping keep the forum active, moderated, and useful between gatherings.

(You're not buying influence over the conversation. You're funding the space that makes the conversation possible.)
