In many of BRIDGE's ambitious mixed-use, mixed-income efforts, we are taking our commitment to community development to a whole new level.

To revitalize communities on a meaningful scale, BRIDGE launched the Neighborhood Partnership Initiative in 2001 to create a community partnership model for neighborhood revitalization. These developments focus on new, large-scale affordable housing and economic development projects that blend housing with commercial activity and new retail services, including incentives for the development of neighborhood-serving and locally owned businesses. Mixed-income developments serve residents at varying income levels and help promote more diverse communities. 

The Neighborhood Partnership Initiative process for creating multidimensional developments requires participation from community residents and a range of public, private and nonprofit partners.  BRIDGE has demonstrated the success of our model for putting all the pieces of community revitalization together in many areas, including Richmond, Marin City, San Rafael’s Canal Area, and Chestnut Linden Court, a HOPE VI project in West Oakland.
