Community Capital

Community capital refers to the collective resources and assets within a community that support its development and well-being. This includes social connections, networks, local knowledge, institutions, and shared values that enable residents to work together, solve problems, and foster economic and social growth. Unlike financial capital, which involves money, community capital emphasizes relationships and social infrastructure that strengthen resilience, trust, and collaboration among community members. Building and maintaining community capital enhances overall quality of life by creating a supportive environment where people can thrive and address common challenges effectively.
