Using Assets

Community organizations, groups, and neighborhoods are being encouraged to view institutional resources as their assets, and institutions are being encouraged to view the community's assets as their greatest resource. A number of community and neighborhood groups are leveraging their resources by connecting their work to changes also sought by institutional partners, while more and more institutions are exploring innovative community-based approaches to fulfill their missions. Regular forums and stronger relationships between community-based groups and institutions create foundations for effective collaboration and the use of all the assets of the community for change.
