As long as we’ve had neighborhoods, neighbors have been a help to each other. Neighbors used to watch each other’s children, keep an eye out for older adults, run errands for each other, and let each other know of programs and services that could be of help.
But many of our neighborhoods - especially those like West Greenville - have changed dramatically as residents in rental homes have been displaced by development and increasing costs. The former residents may be disconnected from each other and from the help available to them.
That’s where people like Ma’ta Crawford come in. Ma’ta is a community navigator and on this episode shares her personal experiences of a changing Greenville, the ways she serves as a connection between government, nonprofits, and residents.
