Asset-Building Community

An Asset-Building Community focuses on strengthening neighborhoods by helping residents develop their own resources—such as skills, relationships, and tangible assets like homes or businesses. Instead of only addressing problems or needs, this approach encourages residents to build on their strengths, fostering economic stability and social cohesion. It promotes local investment, empowerment, and community-led growth, aiming for sustainable improvements that benefit everyone. Essentially, it’s about turning community members’ assets into opportunities for positive change.
