WHO WHY WHAT FOCUS STORIES BLOG INVEST CONTACT INVESTING IN AMERICA'S NEIGHBORHOODS Weaving resources together to transform cities into places of opportunity. The opportunity exists to demonstrate the value that revitalized communities have in fostering good health, economic growth, and interconnectedness. In places like Detroit, Los Angeles, Oakland, and Washington, D.C. our place-based strategy targets capital and commitment across multiple sectors simultaneously. Through this strategy, we can work to ensure these projects work together to spark long-term returns and social benefits in those disadvantaged communities and, ultimately, the region as a whole. Economic Development As new businesses grow, jobs are created. That, in turn, sparks new opportunities for growth in other sectors, fueling an engine of job creation that helps tackle the epidemic of unemployment in underserved communities. More jobs equate to a higher tax base, further stimulating support for schools and health care. Catalytic Investments Across the United States, many are realizing the true value of urban areas as a driver of economic growth and opportunity. Many communities are well positioned to attract new capital and philanthropic investments that demonstrate the ability to deliver both strong financial returns and social impact. Redensification Encouraging growth while preserving affordability for existing residents is key to bringing back neglected neighborhoods. Density is critical to building community and fueling growth. By developing businesses, services and living spaces that anchor neighborhoods, more people will return to the urban core and invest in its future. OUR SOLUTIONS Where many investors see risk in underserved community, Capital Impact Partners sees opportunity. We bring years of experience supporting affordable housing, charter schools, healthy food retailers, community health centers and community-based aging projects to create a set of interconnected resources that work to strengthen each other.
