Neighborhood Evolution
Join us as Monte Anderson and Bernice Radle from Neighborhood Evolution present on how to establish a healthy, small-scale development ecosystem in your area on November 30, 2023.
LOCATION: Online Zoom Event | DATE: November 30, 2023 | TIME: 5:00 p.m. CT
Neighborhoods are struggling to defend themselves against gentrification, affordable housing, and decades of division and wealth extraction, yet we know building a healthy incremental development ecosystem—where local people own the local community—is critical to fighting against it.
Neighborhood Evolution LLC (NE) has a deep, hands-on approach that has been tried and tested through work in team members’ communities and, over the years, through work with communities such as South Bend, Indiana, and Kansas City, Kansas. Their approach includes the 12 steps to development training series, on-site meetings, and specific workshop training customized to community needs. Though their work requires substantial expertise, patience, and time, it’s rewarding and it pays off! Over the years, NE has helped so many people find confidence to launch their small-scale development businesses and buy, build, and renovate buildings, which creates ripples throughout the local economy and community.
This presentation, co-facilitated by key NE leaders Monte Anderson and Bernice Radle, will help you understand the methods they employ in their coaching work and how to begin building small-scale ecosystems within your community. Bernice and Monte will highlight incremental development strategies you may find useful as you address struggles within your own neighborhoods.
