Neighborhood Allies recently created the Centralized Real Estate Accelerator to empower early stage for-profit and non-profit developers and property owners to achieve their vision by growing technical capacity, increasing financial readiness, and building professional networks. The Accelerator works with community organizations and developers that are improving outcomes for low-income residents and communities of color. We support both for-profit and non-profit developers that are revitalizing neighborhoods by investing in commercial, residential, and mixed-use projects. The Accelerator is led by a team of dedicated individuals with the resources, expertise, and connections that can help projects succeed.
Recent interviews with community-based organizations demonstrated that they are increasingly looking to partner with private developers or larger non-profit developers, rather than leading the development process themselves. Such organizations do not have the need or ability to maintain a full time development staff, but need more than a consultant.
