 Holistic revitalization differs from most community development work in that it strives to address the array of issues and challenges that trap families in intergenerational poverty. Rather than focusing on just a single component of community change, holistic initiatives typically include mixed-income housing, radically improved cradle-to-college educational opportunities, youth and adult development programs, jobs and job training, health and wellness programs, transportation access, recreational opportunities and commercial investment. |

| "The core of the framework is a transformed neighborhood with several key features: Quality mixed-income housing that attracts residents from across the income spectrum; a superior cradle to college educational approach that ensures low-income children start school ready and attracts middle-income families; community facilities and wellness programs that not only support low-income families but also tie the neighborhood together and create a sense of community." |
