Nurturing the Dharma

|
Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression. |

The teachings of the Buddha have been sustained by the ancient tradition of dana, a Pali word meaning “generosity.”
Prescott Insight follows the 2,600 year-old tradition of offering these priceless teachings freely so that they are available to everyone, regardless of financial means.

Ending and Preventing Homelessness: Paloma Village
Prescott Coalition for Compassion and Justice
The Prescott Insight Sangha have been contributors to CCJ for many years, and the need for aid and comfort to our homeless neighbors has never been greater. Please read this message from Director Jessi Hans:
CCJ's newest and BIGGEST housing project is just beginning! Paloma Village will be a beautiful community of 25 brand new mobile homes enabling us to offer housing to those in need.
When completed, Paloma Village will offer housing at $500-700/month, on-site client services, and will be a self-sustaining housing program, able to financially provide for further
expansion.

Our Goals for 2022
The first phase of development will include all the engineering, earthwork, electrical, sewage, plumbing, water, paving, concrete pads and, most importantly, the first 12 units. This will take a great amount of resources, but we know through experience that we can get it done with the CCJ community by our side!
Next Steps
In 2023 and 2024 we will place another 13 units through two phases. In addition, we will have a gathering area in which we hope to include a gazebo and park.
Creating Sustainability
Upon completion, Paloma Village will be financially self-sustaining, including client services, property management, and maintenance. We are committed to creating affordable housing that promotes health, growth, and community. When basic needs are met, hope is flowing, and connection is ever present, the possibilities are endless!

Prescott Community Cupboard
"Since 1973, the Prescott Community Cupboard has been providing groceries to empower households to create their own “healthy, active lifestyle.” One visit to the Cupboard provides enough shelf-stable food to create 12 nutritionally-balanced meals per household member." Located at 777 West Hillside Avenue (near the corner of Miller Valley and Hillside).

Dharma Relief
Dharma Relief is the first coalition of different Buddhist traditions and practitioners working together to provide emergency relief and to create sustainable living in North America. Its guiding principles are wisdom and compassion, and it aims to bring light to this world of obscurity, like a lotus rising out of murky waters.

Florence Immigrant & Refugee Rights Project
The Florence Project is a nonprofit legal service organization providing free legal and social services to adults and unaccompanied children in immigration custody in Arizona. Although the government assists indigent criminal defendants and civil litigants through public defenders and legal aid attorneys, it does not provide attorneys for people in immigration removal proceedings. As a result, an estimated 86 percent of the detained people go unrepresented due to poverty.

Refugee Health Alliance
The Refugee Health Alliance (RHA) was organized in 2018 in response to increasing medical need at the US-Mexico Border. Patients receiving care are vulnerable and marginalized. They are families, children, pregnant women and LGBTQ individuals. They have been displaced, deported from the US, and politically and socially excluded. They are refugees and asylum seekers fleeing structural and non-structural violence and racism.
