We build the community development field.

We help disinvested communities
across the country become stronger,
healthier, and more prosperous.

• Advocacy to increase the flow of resources to community development organizations
• Convenings of community developers, the associations that serve them, and key partners
• Actionable research that increases the effectiveness and sustainability of the field
• Capacity building to empower community development organizations and associations

We're partnered with the Housing Network of Rhode Island to bring the COA Summit to Providence, RI on August 24–26. Community development association professionals from across the country participated in this dynamic peer-learning event. Accesss session slides and handouts on the daily agenda webpages.
