When our community struggles, we focus on not only short-term but long-term recovery for more diverse, equitable communities we call home. While we help all in need, we pride ourselves as a staff and board on being from the communities we serve, emphasizing on serving new and existing refugee, immigrant, newcomer, and racial and ethnic minority communities to be able to grow roots and become self-sufficient with access to the same opportunities for all. We believe that a single action can make a difference in the community, and that collective action can greatly transform lives, which is why we celebrate diverse cultures and people and act as a voice for those often under-represented and under-served. We believe our work recognizes the dignity of all those we serve and every part of who they are and seeks to create a community that allows them to thrive. We advocate daily for equitable representation and access to services ensuring their needs, life-experiences, and voice are at the center of our decision making and known to our community partners.HousingCreating healthy, affordable housing, providing housing navigation, and financial pathways of success and helping families find housing optionsSocial Service and WorkforceRemoving barriers and creating opportunities while providing basic needsCommunity Navigation and Civic EngagementCreating pathways of integration and belonging with opportunity to helpSome are forced to flee their home- You just have to decide if you want to help.Are you a landlord, property owner, realtor, or volunteer who has available housing for refugees?Contact us today at Contact@Smartdevelopmentinc.org​In collaboration with community partners and local resettlement agencies, we serve as the trusted-voice for housing opportunities for new and existing refugee and immigrant community members.​​Contact Smart DevelopmentNameEmailSubjectMessageSubmitThanks for submitting!
