PAPER | Local Heroes: Build Affordable Homes and Community Spirit

Collective Impact, Publications, Community Innovation, Cities Reducing Poverty

Established in 2002, Vibrant Communities is a pan-Canadian initiative that explores promising local solutions to reduce poverty. Fifteen communities from across Canada have formed a learning partnership through which they share ideas, resources and strategies related to poverty reduction. Each of the participating communities already had done considerable work to alleviate poverty and saw Vibrant Communities as a way to extend and enrich their efforts. This story is the sixth in a series which highlights successful strategies for reducing poverty and building more caring communities.
