Purpose Built Communities collaborates with local leaders and neighborhood residents across the U.S. to transform neighborhoods, prioritizing upward mobility and health outcomes. Our model includes mixed-income housing, cradle-to-college education, community wellbeing, and economic vitality, all supported by dedicated local Community Quarterback Organizations.
The Purpose Built model helps foster a culturally rich, generationally inclusive, and economically diverse neighborhood. All fundamental needs of children and families are addressed—a safe place to live, high-quality education, access to quality jobs, and access to healthy food and recreation.
Purpose Built is an incubator, convener, and catalyst for social change. We provide guidance and coaching to implement the Purpose Built model along with a robust community of practice and regular convenings so that Network Members can learn from peers and others in the field of place-based partnerships.
Data helps us measure impact and improve our work. Guided by a theory of change, we use multiple data sources—including resident input—to strengthen neighborhoods.
Discover a rich array of resources including reports, case studies, and toolkits here. Each one delves into the roles of people and place in neighborhood revitalization, outlining our collective responsibility to ensure thriving communities for all children and families.
