Freedom Communities

Background

Freedom Communities, a local nonprofit who report investment in infrastructure and people, is the quarterback for United Neighborhoods grantees and while driving this idea, are hoping to push the power to its partners and residents. Their stated goals include addressing higher level issues around corridors of opportunity to increase impact, increase community voice and increase accountability.

What We Did

Project Goal: To build a coalition of neighborhoods to serve and sustain our community as a collective with identified resources in partnership with community leaders, local government entities and nonprofits.

In collaboration with a Project Team, Civility Localized sought to engage with area residents and stakeholders to create a unified group such that the community is leading change in their neighborhood. This group hosted a community day with the intent to find community champion to then support their immediate needs to being this work.
