Community Capitals Framework for Community Profiles Community Capital is the collection of assets a community can use in the development process. Each of the five types of capital can be used to create other things of value to us, things that improve our quality of life. Research suggests that the most critical capital is social capital. Without it, none of the others can be developed and mobilized to improve community quality of life. Determine the feasibility and desirability of options.
