Whole Person Care in Action: Inside Nationwide Children’s Healthy Neighborhoods, Healthy Families Initiative
Q: How did you regain and maintain trust with the community after a history of distrust?
Trust was rebuilt through ongoing, direct relationships and transparent communication. We partnered with trusted local organizations like Community Development for All People, established a Good Neighbor Agreement, invited community feedback, relocated projects to respect residential areas, and ensured senior leaders were present at meetings to show real decision-making power and accountability.
Whole Person Care in Action: Inside Nationwide Children’s Healthy Neighborhoods, Healthy Families Initiative
Q: The big question is the capital stock. How did you put it together?
We built a capital stack by combining two core housing areas—homeownership and home repair—and then added affordable rental development in later years with a collaboration involving a housing syndicator, financial institutions, private philanthropy, and public funds. This allowed us to create a sustainable investment, break even on development, and attract funders by demonstrating credible, long-term returns and trust in Nationwide Children's.
