Our aim is to empower African American communities with the tools to reclaim our place at the economic table.
We leverage our industry expertise to help communities create resident-led, community development corporations.
Together, we can establish community development corporations in every American city (19, 505), with at least one NCI in at least 12 neighborhoods per city – the bridge ensuring accessibility to services and resources.
