Our members understand best what they and their families need and hope for. At Maiker, we have developed a network of partners across the community in areas such as senior services, emergency services, food banks, mental and behavioral health services, family resource center services and early childhood development resources, just to name a few. Our Community Resource Navigators get to know our members and help them connect to the resource(s) that support their journey. Our Community Resource Navigators and Community Organizers work together to build relationships and trust with our members. That trust is the foundation for the Family and Community Vitality programs and activities.

Maiker Housing Partners hosts the Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY), a free home visitation and school-readiness program that partners with parents to make sure their child is ready to succeed in school. HIPPY gets both parents and their children ready for the first day of kindergarten, helping to close the achievement gap that can occur throughout the elementary years that puts children at risk for poor educational outcomes. While Maiker does targeted recruitment across its affordable communities for HIPPY, the program is open to any qualifying resident within Adams County. When parents enroll in HIPPY, they will receive a weekly home visit in their home for 30 weeks as well as books and early childhood educational materials.
