It’s our job to connect you with valued resources that will help you do your best work.
As a community partner, we provide expertise, tailored support and long-term commitment through listening and giving neighborhoods resources to understand their current condtions and simplifying the community development process through the distribution of shared standards, tools and metrics that can be used by everyone.
Here are some websites, reports, articles and other materials that reflect the work we’re doing in partnership with our grantees, partners, and others, as well as some of the broader conversations we’re having on an issue.
