Purpose Built Communities is a national network of local leaders working to improve equity and opportunity in neighborhoods across the United States. The on-the-ground organizations (known as "community quarterbacks") leverage a holistic community revitalization model that focuses on mixed income housing, a cradle-to-college education pipeline, and community wellness within a defined neighborhood in order to address systemic and historical racial inequity, differential health outcomes, and economic immobility.

​

The first season of This is Community, Purpose Built Communities' highly produced narrative podcast series, addresses how intergenerational poverty is segregated into some neighborhoods and not others; how housing, education, and wellness are all interconnected and central to a vibrant neighborhood; and how leaders in neighborhoods across the country are tackling these issues and fostering transformational revitalization in their communities.
