GAIN
GAIN Initiative: Growing Assets and Impact through Networks
The path to stability can feel overwhelming, but no one has to walk it alone.
The GAIN Initiative (formerly Circles®/Anti-Poverty) is a community-based program helping individuals and families overcome barriers through meaningful relationships and practical support. Whether facing financial, emotional, or relational challenges, participants are connected with caring partners and resources that help them move forward—while partners gain deeper understanding, lasting friendships, and the opportunity to strengthen our community from the inside out.
GAIN in Action:
- Over 200 households have taken steps toward greater stability
- “97% of all GAIN participants recommend participation in the program to their friends and family
- 8 partner sites across 4 counties are working together to grow impact
