The Community Alliance Project

At the heart of Community-Vision Solutions' endeavors lies our signature social enterprise initiative, the COMMUNITY ALLIANCE PROJECT (CAP). The CAP initiative originates from decades of social enterprise efforts to address rampant, unsustainable economic, environmental and social inequities in affordable housing and community development, local investment, and community wealth building.

 

CAP was conceived to provide qualifying under-resourced community stakeholders with a social enterprise partner, and level the community development playing field through the convergence of C-V Solutions’ deep networks, business expertise, and advocacy agenda. CAP is a mission-driven effort that equally prioritizes the well-being of People and Planet with social and financial returns, and is strategically crafted to create lasting positive change and foster sustainable and equitable communities.

​

The multi-dimensional CAP model offers coordinated capital access, capacity-building technical assistance support, and expertise to create organizational, community impact and business outcomes for the greater good, including:
