Championing the Needs of Underserved Communities

The People & Places Collaborative is bringing a strategic group of community development leaders to the nation’s capital to champion the needs of underserved communities. Together, we will engage directly with Congress and federal agencies, advocating for policies that are critical to advancing affordable housing, small business and entrepreneurship, community development. We'll promote equitable access on federal advisory, regulatory, and governance committees.

The People & Places Collaborative is led by three organizations:

• Community Opportunity Alliance
• National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development 
  
• National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders 

Stay tuned for outcomes from the convening. Watch for additional opportunities to join our advocacy efforts, including a 2025 People & Places event. 

Shown: People & Places Hill Day participants in 2019. This will be our first in-person convening since the pandemic.
