Place-based approaches have become a cornerstone for fostering long-lasting, meaningful change, by connecting organizations, cities, and communities across the United States. Through focusing on local needs and opportunities, place-based strategies have proven essential for building community resilience and driving positive, tailored outcomes. This final event in the Building Thriving Futures series will dive into  actionable strategies to strengthen partnerships across sectors and address critical challenges such as supporting small businesses, advancing housing equity, and expanding workforce opportunities. 

Together, we’ll explore what it takes to bridge wealth gaps and promote economic inclusion through practical, collaborative approaches that meet communities where they are.

Our world is marked by constant social, political, economic, and environmental shifts, and it is up to us to come together to envision better possibilities for our communities. Join us for insightful cross-sector conversations where we explore opportunities to reimagine the fabric of our neighborhoods, cities, and towns to not just be resilient and adaptive to current and future challenges but to actually thrive in the face of these obstacles. In partnership with FUSE, NationSwell presents the “Building Thriving Futures: Re-imagining and Strengthening America’s Communities.” This event series will cover issues like wealth building, housing affordability, supporting small businesses, and place-based strategies through the lens of cross-sector collaboration to surface solutions rooted in the needs and resources of communities across America.
