THE SET
THE COALITION
THRIVE is supporting infrastructure and resource development for a civic association and coalition of partners guiding area revitalization.
The mission of The Coalition is to advance redevelopment and improve the economic, social and cultural future of the West Atlantic Community. The West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition (The Coalition) was established in 1996.
As a grassroots, community lead organization it serves as a well-trusted advocate for the residents of the surrounding community and the backbone agency for a coalition of strategic partners working to implement a community driven area revitalization plan (The Set Transformation Plan).
The coalition and its strategic partners work together to develop projects, implement the projects, and evaluate the projects all while staying accountable and working with/ not for the community.
Current community-led initiatives focus on organizing, narrative shifting, legacy housing preservation, cooperative prosperity, liberatory education, and community development.
