addressing CONCENTRIC WORK AREAS
We believe transformation starts with listening. Every initiative begins with community voices and "place-based planning", a grass-roots process in which the people decide what they need and want for their community.
By focusing on four interconnected pillars—Mixed Income Housing, Community Health & Wellness, Education, and Economic Vitality—we work towards solutions that address interrelated factors in:
​
- Creating high-quality housing that serves families across income levels
- Building pathways for lifelong learning and success through educational programs
- Ensuring access to health resources and recreational facilities
- Empowering residents to guide neighborhood transformations
"If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together."

Through strategic collaboration, we're facilitating housing, health, education, and economic opportunity in Colony Park, Creedmoor, and Del Valle.
