People living in different communities should be like family because independent people share their lives together. In the book Remix the author talks about helping your communities by coming together to support you on what you want to do, like living on your own. My community is called ICS which stands for Integrated community services. ICS is the place to be because they can help you get low income housing, for people who cannot afford high rent prices. Another example is meeting new people through job coaching and activities.
Having a safe neighborhood is important because you want to live in a good environment. ICS helped me find a good location for my housing. On some nights it gets quiet because my roommates like to relax after a long day at work. I like it noisy sometimes, but on other nights I like it quiet. It has a nice view of trees and a nice front porch where I can sit outside and read a book.
Another thing ICS has is meeting new people, co-workers and getting to know the people of ICS, they are very friendly. The people at ICS are always there for you. If you need to talk to someone about your problems. Next ICS has all kinds of clubs with stability, such as music, fun and learning clubs. Sometimes ICS will have group clubs called the mindfulness club which helps you deal with everyday stuff, like stress or sharing your feelings. Last of all, ICS can help with your studies too. I think this community can help out people when needed.
Finally, ICS can help you find a job that you like. In my experience I worked with a job coach who helped me apply for many positions. She helped me with my online resume. I had many job options to choose from such as H&M, Sprouts and Express. Now I work at Old Navy as a Sr Lead Customer Experience Management, where I have grown in my career.
People need to feel like they belong to a community that supports their needs. A place where they can be themselves and talk to others, not to be afraid. I would recommend ICS because they have all these things. Nowadays people need shelter,food and clothing so they can survive in this world.
