WHERE POLICY MEETS PLACE
Revitalized Communities trains development project teams to use the ALIGN Development Partnership Framework, a practical, repeatable process for incorporating community benefits into development before major decisions are finalized.
ALIGN can become part of how your organization approaches development without creating an entirely new development system. We help leadership determine where ALIGN fits, prepare staff to apply it, and provide additional support when needed.
For agency decision-makers | 2 hours
A focused working session to examine how your organization conducts development today and determine where ALIGN could strengthen existing policy and practice.
Leadership considers whether ALIGN should be used across development initiatives, for selected project types or circumstances, or introduced in stages.
Primary outcome:
A clear direction for where and how ALIGN fits within your organization's development approach.
For development staff | Half day
Once leadership determines how ALIGN will be used, staff learns how to apply Assess, Listen, Integrate, Guide, and Nurture within the organization's actual development process.
Training is tailored to your organization's decision about when and where ALIGN will be used.
Primary outcome:
Staff leave prepared to apply a practical, repeatable process to the development work they already do.
For agencies that want additional capacity | As needed
Revitalized Communities can work alongside your team as ALIGN is applied to an active project, providing facilitation, strategic guidance, or specialized expertise at selected stages or throughout the process.
Primary outcome:
Your organization maintains ownership of its development process while accessing additional expertise when it adds value.
Start with the ALIGN Readiness Assessment. We'll use your responses to better understand how development works within your organization and identify the right next conversation.
We bring a structured predevelopment approach that aligns community priorities, policy, and project strategy early, creating a clear path forward for successful execution.
LET'S DISCUSS ALIGN FOR YOUR TEAM!
