Explanation:
I think this might convey the sense. I always think using "solidarity" is a bit of a risk in this context as it is something particular to Latin languages, but not really with English.

Example sentence(s):
  • "Community caregivers frequently rely on their COMMUNITY NETWORK for assistance, which makes community based-care a necessity."
  • "There is an excellent book by Craig Greenfield called “The Urban Halo: a story of hope for orphans of the poor”. It gives practical insight on how to support orphans and destitute children within their COMMUNITY NETWORK."

Explanation:
Or "community support network", which of course borrows from Lara's post.

I would avoid solidarity. In Italian it is closely connected with charity and the English cognate was affected in this direction with Pope Wojtyla and the Solidarnosc connection. However I feel its core meaning in English (at least for my generation) is still connected with trade unions and picket lines.
