Where community, care, and technology meet to rebuild for the public good.
the challenge
Innovation belongs to everyone.
Disasters reveal both our resilience and our inequities. Too often, outside entities arrive with well-intentioned solutions but without the proximity, trust, or lived experience to understand those most affected.
The result: innovations that miss the mark for the people who need them most.
The Care & Innovation Hive is changing that.
