Buik on engaging the community where a shelter is being built: It’s how we work together in terms of hearing what’s important to a community and addressing them. We have to be intentional before a project gets too much down the pike to get their input beforehand.

Plouffe on CZI’s approach: CZI can do a lot, but there’s no point in duplicating the work that others do better than the young organization could. The question is where can it add value and bring interesting aspects that might be new to the arena.
