Having these needs met, fi rst, is the pathway to love & belonging, esteem, and self-actualization taking place. Utilizing the Universal Basic Income model, we have put into place a program to help meet those essential needs, empowering the residents of Lakeview to educate themselves and engage in the solution-oriented problem solving centered around LNAs 4 Areas of Programming: Child & Family Stability, Prevention of Displacement, Economic Mobility, and Civic Awareness. The Gift Card Program is the core short term solution that lays the groundwork for the strategic long term plan.Residents are eligible for gift cards if they engage with Lakeview Neighborhood Alliance activities and attend a certain number of Lakeview Neighborhood Alliance events over the course of the year. In FY 23, LNA served 156 community residents through the gift card program. Residents received $100 per event/activity over the course of the year. The Merancas grant received in 2023 funded this program and also helped to complete a $250,000 matching grant from the Yates Fund.Measurements from our 2023 Impact Report (surveyed from the program members) detail how the program was helpful with over 65% of residents reporting being able to save money and better able to access household items. Clothing, hygiene items, and groceries are the top 3 items being reported as their gift card expenditures. We advocate on the belief of the correlation in meeting the basic needs and the improvement in civic activities like voting in an election, helping a neighbor or family member in need, and volunteering at a religious institution or organization in the community; all reporting percentages over 85%. 260924 Community Quarterback:Lakeview Neighborhood Alliance (LNA) is a community organization based in the Lakeview neighborhood of Charlotte, NC.
