Belonging can begin with a place at the table.
An open seat is a small signal that someone was expected, noticed, and welcome. The possibility here is to make that signal easier to offer and easier to find.
These are questions to explore, not services or programs already available.
What would help hosts notice barriers such as access, transportation, timing, or comfort?
