WHO WE ARE

SENT Topeka is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering holistic community development in Shawnee County, with a primary focus on the Hi-Crest Neighborhood. Our organization was established in April 2018, and since then, we have been working tirelessly to address the pressing issues faced by the community, ranging from education and business development to safe housing and mental health services.

The Hi-Crest neighborhood has faced considerable challenges, including high poverty rates, crime, low property values, and limited access to essential services. SENT Topeka has been instrumental in spearheading positive changes in the community, and we are committed to furthering our impact.

Our multifaceted approach to community development encompasses various pillars, including education, housing, mental health, and community wellness. SENT Topeka operates specialized committees, collaborates with local entities, and actively participates in community forums to ensure our initiatives are informed by a comprehensive spectrum of perspectives.

Our goal at SENT is to change the narrative with the community to bring it back to a thriving neighborhood through developing and providing educational programs, mental health services, community wellbeing programming, local business development, housing resources, and resource and referral sources. All this work will take place through SENT’s holistic and comprehensive case management model, which is based on best practices in the field. Working closely with families, case managers will offer guidance, resources, and support to help surmount challenges. This approach will follow a stair-step model, gradually reducing assistance as families become more self-reliant and self-sufficient.
