Bridging the Wealth Gap: October 21, 2023
West MI Cooperative Economics & Racial Wealth Parity Fair created a vibrant, engaging, and equitable communities platform by address Gentrification and racial wealth parity through:
· Education
· Impactful Community Engagement
· Entrepreneurship
· Housing development.
By promoting Cooperative Economics, Racial Wealth Parity, and affordable housing development in underinvested urban areas, we are directly contributing to the creation of more equitable communities.

Multi-Jurisdictional/Cross-Sector Community_Youth Taskforce
Addressing Our Community's Vulnerability
CALL to Action: Multi-Jurisdictional Muskegon Community Driven Taskforce for Strategic Planning of Comprehensive Housing Production and Economic Development Plan:
As a community, it is important that we conceptualize the potentials of what unregulated Rezoning Policy married with our Resident’s Vulnerability could look like “for us,” in terms of not only Displacement; but Character and Culture of our Community, Police Harassment, Dilution Political power and further Disparity in Wealth Building Opportunities.
“Our Voices Also!”~Youth Initiative
3N1Community created this qualitative and quantitative Multi-Jurisdictional Cross Sector Visioning Taskforce to understand & create community driven initiatives that include Capital Investments, Community Preservation/Beautification, education, Housing, Economic opportunity and Youth Concerns.
