By leveraging current neighborhood belongings, Harris and her colleagues adopted a strength-based perspective of their engagement efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When Harris employed household liaisons, she thought-about what structural limitations would possibly stop her from hiring individuals from the communities they&#8217;d be serving. She discovered that the {qualifications} required for the roles, akin to having a bachelor\u2019s diploma, have been restrictive and deterred the candidates she wished from making use of.
