Community-Centered Development for City & Development Agencies

Revitalized Communities

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.

What We Do

  • ALIGN framework training for city and development agencies
  • Community-Centered Development capacity building
  • Agency staff and leadership development programs
  • Community engagement strategy and implementation
  • Development site consultation with specialized project teams customized for the particular project
