Local Asset Mapping
Local Asset Mapping is a strategic process that identifies and visualizes the skills, resources, organizations, and strengths within a community. By creating a map of these assets, communities can see what they already have to address challenges and improve local well-being. It involves gathering information about local businesses, nonprofits, individuals, facilities, and other resources, then organizing this data to foster collaboration and support planning. Essentially, it helps communities recognize their existing strengths and opportunities, enabling more effective and resource-efficient development efforts.
