Jorge Blandón, community development expert, discusses the mission of FII to lift families out of poverty. FII's hybrid online & real-world community model has led to a 27% income lift and $2.5 million in home equity. They aim to remove systemic barriers and foster trust. Up Together, their online platform, supports families through connection, support, resource exchange, and attracting new members. Families in the program experience increased income, asset building, and improved financial situations. The collaborative mindset of the community drives platform success. The pandemic has presented challenges, leading to the launch of the Give Together Now campaign.
