Real Stories

As an intermediary, we help advance the most promising local initiatives in comprehensive community development

The partners we work with—and through—are on the front lines every day improving the quality of life for neighborhood residents. They provide access to homes, jobs, workforce training, assistance for small businesses, health supports, education, and financial and wealth building strategies. In short, their work changes lives.

We want to share stories from our 2010 COACTION grantees about how community development helps real people.
