Poor communities located in metropolitan areas in North America, the American Hemisphere and indeed throughout the world share many of the same characteristics: high concentrations of disadvantaged residents, substandard housing, declining low skills job markets and lack of a qualified employment pool, as well as other difficulties.
Notwithstanding these obstacles, most metropolitan communities are experiencing rapidly growing populations which are fueling higher costs for housing, healthcare, and education, greater energy demands and increased big business economic activities.
To face these rapidly changing societal issues, community and faith-based organizations are often seen as the most permanent and enduring sense of neighborhood and family for residents who often feel they have little or no opportunity for economic advancement.
FWI uses our technical assistance resources, partnerships and technology systems to link local community organizations with needed resources such as low-cost or no-interest bank loans and professional service providers such as: lawyers, accountants, architects, contractors and the like to assist in the development of community projects which directly address the needs of local residents who they know best.
