This brief is part of a series of case studies of aging and disability network organizations addressing the nutrition and food insecurity needs in their communities by braiding funding streams and forming partnerships with other organizations. These case studies provide examples of how high-performing organizations use a variety of funding streams to address nutrition, food insecurity, and other health and social needs. 

This case study describes how aging and disability network agencies, grounded in the No Wrong Door (NWD) System policy and practice, evolved over time to build organizational capacity to effectively screen for Alabamians’ unmet social determinants of health (SDOH) needs including nutrition through strategic partnerships and creative braiding of funding streams.
