Innovation, opportunity, and community empowerment.

As part of our ongoing commitment to transforming lives and creating vibrant, sustainable communities through the Choice Neighborhood Initiative (CNI), our team recently embarked on an insightful visit to the Greater Deadwood Choice Neighborhood in Washington, DC. This experience provided an incredible platform to engage with industry experts, local stakeholders, and residents of the nation’s capital, exchanging innovative ideas and best practices for fostering inclusive, thriving neighborhoods.

Our trip was more than just an opportunity to learn from others—it was a chance to bring some of our very own residents along for the journey. By seeing firsthand how CNI developments have positively impacted communities like Washington, DC, our residents gained valuable insight and perspective on the transformative power of these projects. Their voices are at the heart of everything we do, and their feedback plays a crucial role in shaping the future of our own neighborhood redevelopment efforts.

Collaborating with residents not only ensures that we are building stronger, more inclusive communities, but it also empowers them to take an active role in the decision-making process. Their firsthand experiences help us tailor our development strategies to meet their needs, creating sustainable housing solutions that uplift entire neighborhoods.

Our visit reaffirmed our belief that building vibrant communities requires a holistic approach that goes beyond brick-and-mortar development. It’s about cultivating connections, fostering resident empowerment, and ensuring long-term social and economic growth for all. We look forward to continuing our work through the Choice Neighborhood Initiative as we strengthen partnerships, drive innovation, and create opportunities that benefit both current and future generations.

Empowering residents. Building stronger, more inclusive neighborhoods. This is what Choice Neighborhoods is all about!
