Neighborhood Revitalization
Vibrant neighborhoods showcase the importance of place and people. With every housing project, Dwelling Place invests in, we know it’s an opportunity to create an impact on the scale of a neighborhood. When working in a community, we look to neighborhood leaders and residents to help identify existing strengths. Together, we are active voices for change.
Community building begins with a ripple effect. A home gives a person a setting for stability and allows for them to connect with neighbors and engage in the community. As neighbors come together around common interests, they increase their capacity to effect change. Aside from making a significant difference in the well-being of people and neighborhoods, this community building process creates a tangible sense of belonging.
We unite community partners into one force for good. Together we’re bringing life to once vacant buildings. We’re advocating for street lights so people feel comfortable when they’re out at night and accessible sidewalks so children can easily walk to school. We’re uniting neighbors to harvest a community garden and enhance the local park. We’re bringing in businesses so people can work in the neighborhoods where they live. We’re fostering resident leadership through training, classes, and events that encourage people to be active in the daily life of their communities.
We know that when all of these pieces come together, that’s when a neighborhood feels like home.
