About us
SLV Community Solutions, provides collaboration and data support to organizations working to address the challenges faced by those impacted by poverty and homelessness in the San Luis Valley. The vast geography, isolation, limited work force and small population centers present barriers to organizations that collaboration and accurate data collection and analysis can help alleviate. SLV Community solutions is a community action 501(c)(3) which leverages the Community Services Block grant to help communities engage in providing better communication, effectiveness, reach and cooperation to identify the needs, and bring resources together so communities can craft and implement solutions to those struggling under the weight of poverty.
