The Core Collective is a five-month neighbor listening initiative—a small team of neighbors going door to door across Westcore to hear what matters most to the people who live here.
Our 2026 Goals
Connect with neighbors from across all 62 blocks in Westcore
Hear from local businesses
Listen well and identify shared hopes, needs, and challenges
Compile the findings into a neighborhood listening report that will help guide future neighbor-led programs, gatherings, and initiatives
Through door-to-door connection, small teams of two will meet neighbors block-by-block to hear their experiences and learn what matters most to them. These conversations will be captured through our Neighborhood Survey, helping us recognize patterns, needs, and opportunities across the neighborhood.
