Spirit. Soul. Body. Revitalization of the WHOLE person

Our wholistic community revitalization goal is to understand system wellness and create more favorable conditions, which means we must thoughtfully consider the WHOLE PERSON; Spirit, Soul, and Body in an effort to rebuild and revitalize communities. We implement an Appreciative Intelligent method that considers what is good, what is bad, and how a positive outcome can occur.

Our community revitalization or consultation efforts include engaging local, state, and federal government for impactful changes, developing and advocating for affordable housing, healthy food systems, education, economic revitalization, neighborhood beautification, and active community listening and engagement.
