  • Resumen

  • In this episode of the Thriving Voices podcast, Andrew talks with Kerrie Wilson to discuss how Cornerstones is helping people build more stable lives by connecting them to vital resources that solve their needs for housing, childcare, food and financial assistance.  With 40 years’ experience in advocacy, policy development, and nonprofit leadership in the field of health and human services, Kerrie holds fast to the vision of a community where all have equitable access to the resources they need to participate and prosper. As CEO of the Northern Virginia based nonprofit Cornerstones and its affiliate, Cornerstones Housing Corporation, Kerrie has helped create that community through innovative and strategic partnerships, impactful programs, and successful advocacy for those whose voices needs to be heard.  In this episode, Andrew and Kerrie Discuss:  How Cornerstones serves the community How suburban growth is changing and evolving  communities How to include your community in planning decisions Why creating resources when infrastructure is not as robust can be difficult on communities How helping community members acquire or build assets benefits everyone What is the Cornerstones Childcare Resource Center What is Opportunity Neighborhoods  What Kerrie thinks it takes for a community to thrive fully?   Work locally.  How do you help your community to thrive?   Go in with an open mind and listen.    More About Kerrie and Cornerstones   Kerrie Wilson, CEO, Cornerstones and Cornerstones Housing Corporation: When Kerrie Wilson was presented with The Commonwealth Institute’s Virginia Legacy Award in 2016, she was described as “a tireless advocate for positive change on issues that strengthen families and communities in Virginia.”  Prior to joining Cornerstones in 2001, Kerrie’s career began at the American Cancer Society where she worked on issues related to cancer prevention and control in women, minorities and the medically underserved as the National Vice President for Government Relations / Policy Advocacy. Kerrie has been a champion for affordable housing and co-chairs the Board of Supervisors’ appointed Fairfax County Affordable Housing Advisory Council (AHAC) which advances equitable, affordable and workforce housing development and preservation. In addition to serving on the boards of the Dulles Regional and Greater Reston chambers of commerce, she served as the Treasurer of the Meyer Foundation and currently serves as Treasurer on the board of the Virginia Nonprofit Leadership Council. Cornerstones exists so that individuals and families in the Dulles corridor who are homeless, isolated, or living in poverty can access resources that offer stability, empowerment and hope for healthy and connected lives. Cornerstones’ signature approach – working in purposeful and targeted partnerships – brings together people and strategies from multiple sectors to harness and target expertise and resources for greater community well-being.   For nearly 50 years, Cornerstones has been helping neighbors in need overcome tough economic times in an already high cost-of-living region. The service area of Cornerstones has grown to include most of northwestern Fairfax County.  Each of us can become a Cornerstone and continue our history of helping people build more stable lives by connecting them to vital resources that solve their needs for housing, childcare, food or financial assistance.  Website   Facebook Instagram Linkedin  Connect with Andrew Schneider   Thrivingvoices@arlingtonthrive.org   To learn more about Arlington Thrive, visit arlingtonthrive.org   Follow Arlington Thrive on   Facebook   Linkedin   Instagram
