Community-Led Development Is Our Campaign

Community-Led Development means the people who live in Metcalfe Park lead the work to shape its future.

Community-Led Development Is Our Campaign image

In a neighborhood where more than 80% of residents are renters and many households spend over half of their income on rent, stable housing is not a luxury, it is a necessity. Safe, affordable homes and access to community-owned space are essential to health, safety, dignity, and long-term economic opportunity.

Metcalfe Park Community Bridges is a resident-led nonprofit recognized citywide for advancing accountable, people-powered change. Guided by the Metcalfe Park Community-Led Investment Plan, neighbors have named housing, environmental justice and community space infrastructure as top priorities for neighborhood stability, collective care, and generational wealth.

Your donation directly supports community-led development by investing in:

• Housing infrastructure that creates pathways to stability and homeownership

• Community spaces that anchor organizing, care, and connection

• Resident capacity and leadership so decisions remain in the hands of the people most impacted

This is development done from the inside out.

Every contribution strengthens our ability to reclaim land, restore homes, build shared spaces, and ensure Metcalfe Park’s future is directed by the people who call it home.

Community-Led Development isn’t just our approach, it’s our campaign.
