Community at the Core is the official podcast of the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA), where we explore the heart of what makes our neighborhoods thrive—people. Each episode highlights voices from across the state who are making an impact in big and small ways, from every background and walk of life. Whether they’re public servants, advocates, volunteers, or everyday residents, our guests share personal stories, professional insights, and powerful reflections on what community means to them. Join us as we celebrate the work being done to build stronger, more connected communities—because at the core of it all, is community.
