Theory of Change

We’ve created a theory of change that shows how we work toward our vision for enabling and supporting neighborhoods that are just, resilient, sustainable, and thriving for people from all walks of life. We focus on:

Trustworthy, accessible knowledge: We gather, distill, and uplift quantitative and qualitative data, lived experience, and powerful stories to make issues and opportunities easy to understand — and impossible to ignore.

Community power: We amplify the power of organized community groups by equipping them with the data, tools, and resources they need to influence policy decisions, spark solutions, and advance systemic justice.

Just neighborhoods: We work with changemakers across sectors to push for and enable equitable investment and infrastructure to ensure the environmental, economic, and social resilience of vulnerable, disinvested, and gentrifying neighborhoods.
