  • We believe that community-based organizations are essential to community development work.
  • ​We recognize that the neighborhoods we serve are rich in assets, resources, knowledge, solutions, and leadership, and that our role is to support them in building on these strengths to achieve their goals.
  • We believe in inclusive community engagement in all the program and investment opportunities that we pursue and implement.
  • Innovation and data both drive our approach to community development.
  • We strive to achieve both quantitative and qualitative outcomes that positively impact our neighborhoods and help us ensure a more equitable city.
