- Hanson, E., Vandenberg, C., Short, K., Sjolseth, S., O’Neal, C. W., & Lucier-Greer, M. (2023). Community capacity building: Mobilizing community supports to facilitate the integration of military families. Auburn, AL: Military REACH
- The Military REACH team was asked to review the empirical literature related to evidence-based methods for creating a sense of connectedness and inclusion between active-duty families and their communities, a term commonly referred to as community capacity building. Additionally, this review sought to identify available research on the provision of community resources in the domains of housing, healthcare, education, employment, sense of safety, connecting with neighbors, relationship building, and integration. Studies examining active-duty samples close to an installation (i.e., within a 10-mile radius) were prioritized.
