Episode 32: Building Multi-Sector Partnerships in North Carolina

Opportunity Starts at Home

The episode explores the work of the campaign’s state-based affiliates in North Carolina and features Adam Sotak, community engagement director at NCChild. Throughout the episode, Mr. Sotak discusses their unqiue partnership with the North Carolina Housing Coalition, the opportunities and challenges of building multi-sector partnerships, best practices for organizations looking to build a multi-sector coalition, how NCChild is advancing racial equity, and how NCChild is leveraging multi-sector partnerships to advance more robust and equitable housing policies. "What we have tried to do with this opportunity is integrate the issue of safe and affordable housing for children and families into everything we do as a child advocacy organization because it is such a key part of children being able to thrive," said Mr. Sotak. We all know that affordable housing is an issue in any city or state across our country...so to us, it just makes sense to have this be a key part of the multi-issue way we are trying to make policy change in North Carolina."
