Abstract:
Comprehensive community development is defined as the "place-based and intentional approach aimed at improving lives and strengthening communities and works at the intersection of people, places, and systems." By creating a shared vision, unified strategy, and a collaborative structure to attract and deploy resources, comprehensive community development creates vibrant local communities that offer people equitable opportunities to thrive. It is also built on a foundation of inclusive resident engagement, which is central to creating and sustaining positive change.
NeighborWorks America (NWA) is the founder of this strategic thinking and today, this 45-year-old national nonprofit exists to make grants that impact local communities in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. NWA also supports organizations and individuals engaged in this work through many types of capacity-building and training opportunities. NeighborWorks is known as the premier provider of professional learning for the affordable housing and community development field. Participants will hear from two NWA network organizations about best practices and the benefits of NeighborWorks training and how professional development can impact individuals and communities!
