improving communities through meaningful participation

home&community's message is that community is not just a place -- it is home. We are a 501(c)(3) organization founded to serve as the clearinghouse of information for those interested in that message and in the implementation of models for meaningful participation. Our clients are low-income residents and their allies who want to build stable and improved communities and who are mobilizing to bring "home" back to their communities.

home&community's purpose is:

  • to serve low-income residents through capacity building;
  • to insure that at the local, state and national levels, residents and advocates play an important and integral part in the community development process -- from shaping the debate at the initial policy development stage, through the planning stage to the final stage of plan implementation and monitoring;
  • to advocate a meaningful holistic approach in saving and enriching low-income communities. Holistic development accesses the various mechanisms of change -- economic, social, moral, and political;
  • to facilitate coalition building around the issue of home and community;
  • to effect change in local, state and national housing and community development policies and institutions.
