Revitalized Communities

Community-Centered Development for City & Development Agencies

Revitalized Communities trains city and development agencies to build their capacity to practice Community-Centered Development. We help city and development agencies partner with community members and other stakeholders through a pre-development, community-centered framework called ALIGN. This framework becomes a tool to help develop communities where residents gain benefits that they negotiate and steward — creating growth without gentrification.
