OUR MISSION & VISION

We launched a non-profit in 2020 with a mission to create catalytic change to help cities solve their most pressing resilience challenges.

We work to ensure all residents, particularly the most vulnerable, are safer, healthier, and thriving in the face of everyday stresses, and are able to withstand and recover quickly after shocks.

We work at 4 different scales:

 
 
Project Level

Project Level

Neighborhood

Neighborhoods

Cities

Regions

 
 

THIS MOMENT COULD NOT BE MORE URGENT

As we have all witnessed over the last 2 years, sudden shocks and chronic stresses can compound to send communities into a cascading spiral of sustained crisis. We are meeting this moment by:

 

Building capacity at the local and regional level (i.e., through technical assistance, recovery plans, communication tools, new partnerships)

Helping communities to design innovative projects eligible for state and federal funding

Creating networks to share best practices across the country
