Important! Please note that each Neighborhood Resource Person & Ombudsman helping to answer inquiries are community volunteers who state that they have some experience or expertise in the various areas.

These community volunteers respond to inquiries as they would on a “forum” or “thread”. The helpful folks who assist you are not screened and are not CommunityCause.org volunteers. Share only information that you would feel comfortable sharing elsewhere on the internet.
