The Community Building Institute works with communities and their stakeholders to create forward-looking plans. We have worked with many neighborhoods and communities to identify their visions for the future, and create reasonable implementation strategies that help move these communities forward.

We use an asset-based approach to community planning that includes asset mapping, identification of the associations and other important stakeholders in an area and assuring that the community plays a lead role in the planning. Click here to find out more about our current projects.

Our team of planners, housing specialists, sociologists and community organizing professionals work with communities using geographic information services (GIS) technology, community interviewing, surveys and other methods tailored to each community to ensure that the planning process is appropriate to the community and the outcomes the community is looking for.
