CLTRE

Notes from the field: When you think of "underserved" or "disadvantaged" community, I want you to remember these faces and these stories. These are some of the extraordinary people in the Sacramento community who just haven't had folks in their corner supporting them. But through CLTRE, we are connecting the dots and weaving together a stronger cultural landscape in Sacramento where culture is celebrated as the natural resource that it is for us. Bonus: This video was created by 3 Lopez Media Inc, a BIPOC business that went through our innovation challenge last year. #culturallyrich #communitydevelopment #firsttimehomebuyers

We are still energized from CLTRE, Coffee, and Conversations last week! Creatives, community orgs, and even the I Love You Easter bunny showed up. And if that wasn’t enough, we did a sneak preview of renderings by Salazar Architect Inc. from our development project, CLTRE House. If you missed it, make sure you mark your calendars: Every first Wednesday of the month, 9:30am-11:00am. 3433 Broadway, Sacramento, CA 95831. #CLTRE

At CLTRE, we are committed to driving Inclusive Economic Development—a concept that ensures that all individuals, especially those historically excluded, have access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive. Inclusive economic development is about more than just economic growth; it’s about creating equitable pathways for everyone in our community to benefit from and participate in that growth. For the past year, we have had the opportunity to be on the leading edge of Inclusive Economic Development with a nationwide cohort – L.E.A.P. Initiative – spearheaded by the New Growth Innovation Network #economicdevelopment #communitydevelopment
