Smart growth approaches to development can help address long-standing environmental, health, and economic disparities in low-income, minority, and tribal communities. By cleaning up and reinvesting in existing neighborhoods our organization seeks to assist in providing housing choices for people of all income levels, household sizes, and stages of life, offering transportation options that are affordable, reduce air pollution and associated health impacts, and give residents who do not drive more mobility. We believe improving access to jobs and services by creating development that is walkable and transit-accessible. To achieve this, equitable development approaches usually integrate people-focused strategies efforts that support community residents with place-focused strategies efforts that stabilize and improve the neighborhood environment.
