Strengthening Communities
Community wealth building is a fast-growing economic development movement that strengthens communities through broader democratic ownership and control of business and jobs. It builds on local talents, capacities and institutions, rebuilding capital to strengthen and create locally owned family and community owned businesses that are anchored in place.
When families possess assets — valuable skills, social networks, a home, some savings, an ownership stake in a business —they enjoy greater resilience. They can plan for their future, send a child to college, and feel secure in retirement.
