During National Fair Housing Month, revisit AFN's brief, Heirs' Property: Acting to Preserve Wealth. Heirs’ property issues continue to be deeply entrenched in Black, Latino, and other socioeconomically disadvantaged communities across the country. Philanthropy has a vital role to play in tackling these issues and, in doing so, contributing to greater economic security in these communities. Greater philanthropic involvement in this work is imperative to the preservation and stewardship of land and other property that has been passed down, and continues to be passed down, among families in disadvantaged communities.

More and more states and localities are investing in Family Resource Centers (also often known as Family Success Centers or Family Enrichment Centers). These community-based entities are hubs for families to access services and make social connections, and have been shown to reduce child abuse and neglect, to improve family self-sufficiency, and to achieve other positive outcomes. It’s good to see the first FRC coming to Cheyenne, Wyoming! https://lnkd.in/eCkQMc-s and https://lnkd.in/eVn9CZad

Changing the balance of social program investment, together with the language we use about families struggling against adversity, has the potential to dramatically shift the dial for child safety, family integrity and long term individual and societal outcomes. It’s heartening to see greater investment being channeled to the highly successful Aboriginal Child & Family Centres model in this year’s NSW state budget. Kudos to AbSec and SNAICC - National Voice for our Children for their advocacy in securing this investment. That additional investment is just the start of what will be required to turn the tide for vulnerable families in our communities. In the words of my good colleague, Jessica Cocks, “backing children means backing their parents”. Supporting families means investing in models that provide useful support to reduce risk in ways that don’t channel families unnecessarily to child protection systems. The way we arrange and mobilise resources matters. The level of time, resource and opportunity wastage inherent in the Referral Merry-Go-Round is scandalous. Integrated, one-stop-shop models that wrap bespoke service combinations around families in partnership have a solid and growing evidence base, both here and overseas. They also make sense from an economical perspective, avoiding waste and duplication of overheads and back-office functions. The case for investment in these models is clear. #ChildProtection #FamilyStrengthening #PublicPolicy #EarlyIntervention

My goal as a mum? To raise kids whose hearts beat with empathy and whose actions spark change. This mama's mission is to raise her kids up, leaving a legacy—it’s what motivates everything I do. Two years ago, my daughter Kezia had a simple dream of collecting socks for people experiencing homelessness in winter. This vision blossomed into what is now Rostrata Primary School's Winter Warmer Drive. What started as a small idea transformed into an avalanche of kindness, with over 1,000 winter items collected for those in need. From 350 socks to a mountain of warmth, it’s clear: one spark can light up a community. It's never about what a single person can achieve. It’s about a collective spirit, a village of hearts working together. Watching my children and their friends pour their energy into this drive, I saw firsthand how they shattered the barriers of what's possible when we unite. We hope these beanies, socks, and scarves are keeping people warm tonight. Our children aren’t just learning—they’re leading by example, showing us all that the future is bright with their compassionate hearts. I feel incredibly moved to see how Kezia's small dream has grown, and it’s a powerful reminder of the impact we can have when we encourage our kids to follow their hearts.
