We are proud to be a member of the Purpose Built Community Network, a national coalition of communities driving neighborhood revitalization efforts through adaptation of the Purpose Built Communities model. This model serves as a blueprint for enhancing neighborhood prosperity through four primary initiatives: mixed-income housing, cradle-to-career education, community health and wellness, and economic vitality.
The Community Quarterback organization effectively executes this model, collaborating with stakeholders to seamlessly integrate all the vital components that contribute to neighborhood prosperity and growth.
One Cog in the Machine.
Within the framework of the Purpose Built Communities Model, the “Community Quarterback” organization, represented by Seventy Five North, functions as a cog in the machine. By facilitating the coordination of various community investments, the Community Quarterback ensures that all gears are turning smoothly. Through collaborative efforts with neighbors, community organizations, businesses, and stakeholders, the community quarterback fosters a unified strategy to enhance the prosperity and growth of our neighborhood.
Neighborhoods are the unit of change that can have the greatest impact on people’s lives, changing life trajectories for the lowest-income residents, creating greater racial equity, improved health outcomes, and increased upward mobility.
The strategy begins by enhancing a community’s residential foundation through safe, high-quality housing for all income levels, ensuring a significant portion is dedicated to long-term, permanent affordability to reduce displacement in the neighborhood.
Thriving neighborhoods prioritize wellness through medical care, mental health support, healthy food access, community spaces, arts, culture, and green areas. Tailored facilities and programs promote belonging, honor history, encourage healthy lifestyles, create jobs, and enhance safety for overall well-being.
Education, beginning at birth, is vital for healthy child development. High-quality, community-serving schools within a comprehensive early learning to grade 12 pathway foster children’s development and prepare them for college or their chosen post-graduate path.
A strong commercial core fosters neighborhood prosperity and residents’ economic advancement, offering opportunities for meaningful work and wealth building. A dual-pronged strategy supporting opportunities across income levels ensures abundant local resources and participation in a thriving economy.
