HARTFORD AREAS RALLY TOGETHER, INC.'S MISSION IS TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS, ACT COLLECTIVELY, AND BRING ABOUT LASTING CHANGE IN HARTFORD'S NEIGHBORHOODS.
HARTFORD AREAS RALLY TOGETHER, INC. IS FOCUSED ON COMMUNITY ORGANIZING AS A MEANS OF INCREASING CITIZEN EMPOWERMENT AND PARTICIPATION IN EVENTS AFFECTING THEIR LIVES.
COMMUNITY ORGANIZING IS A PROCESS BY WHICH PEOPLE ARE BROUGHT TOGETHER TO ACT IN COMMON SELF-INTEREST. COMMUNITY ORGANIZING IS A MEANS FOR ACHIEVING SOCIAL CHANGE THROUGH COLLECTIVE ACTION BY CHANGING THE BALANCE OF POWER. SIMPLY PUT, IT IS PEOPLE RESIDENTS AND STAKEHOLDERS OF A COMMUNITY BANDING TOGETHER AROUND A COMMON INTEREST OR ISSUE TO CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE. AT THE HEART OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZING ARE INCLUSION, RELATIONSHIP BUILDING AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT. HART FACILITATES ALL THREE OF THESE PRINCIPLES IN ITS COMMUNITY ORGANIZING WORK.
HART'S HOME OWNERSHIP MADE EASY, OR "HOME" PROGRAM HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR TWENTY YEARS, PROVIDING EDUCATION, INFORMATION AND SUPPORT TO FIRST-TIME HOME BUYERS. THE HOME PROGRAM'S GOAL IS TO NOT ONLY ENABLE PARTICIPANTS TO PURCHASE A HOME, BUT TO HELP THEM BECOME SUCCESSFUL, LONG-TERM HOMEOWNERS. THIS SERVICE IS PARTICULARLY ESSENTIAL IN HARTFORD, WITH ITS VERY LOW HOMEOWNERSHIP RATE. ABOUT THREE-QUARTERS OF HOME PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS WHO CLOSE ON THEIR FIRST HOME BUY IN THE CITY OF HARTFORD. THE HOME PROGRAM IS HUD AND CHFA APPROVED, FEATURES MANY "BEST PRACTICES" OF EFFECTIVE HOMEOWNERSHIP EDUCATION PROGRAMS, AND IS OFFERED IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH. SINCE ITS INCEPTION, HART'S HOME PROGRAM HAS MAINTAINED A PARTICIPANT MORTGAGE DEFAULT RATE OF LESS THAN 2 PERCENT, FAR LESS THAN THE GENERAL POPULATION.
OUR WALKERS & TALKERS PROGRAM ARMS PARENTS OF CHILDREN AGES 0-5 WITH ENJOYABLE, EASY-TO-APPLY METHODS FOR DEVELOPING EARLY LITERACY SKILLS. THE PROGRAM FOCUSES ON HOW READING, SINGING AND PLAYING WITH SMALL CHILDREN ACCELERATES THEIR EARLY LITERACY DEVELOPMENT AND ENHANCES THEIR LONG-TERM PROSPECTS. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM FOCUSES ON UNDERSERVED IMMIGRANT FAMILIES, THE SESSIONS ARE BILINGUAL AND MULTI-CULTURAL. HART EARNS THE TRUST OF IMMIGRANT PARENTS, WHO ARE GENERALLY APPREHENSIVE ABOUT ENGAGING WITH INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMS, BY PROVIDING THEM WITH THE RESOURCES THEY WANT AND NEED IN ORDER TO LEARN AND ADOPT NEW PARENTING BEHAVIORS.
