Our Mission & Vision
Community Revitalization Alliance, Inc. (CReA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit neighborhood revitalization agency dedicated to advancing resident-centered transformation. Inspired by the evidence-based Purpose Built Communities model and the principles of Asset-Based Community Development, CReA works to strengthen the existing assets of each neighborhood while fostering new pathways to opportunity, stability, and prosperity.
Originally founded in 2014 as SCCABO and restructured in 2024 as CReA, we focus on holistic community and economic development that empowers residents, enhances local capacity, and reduces long-term burdens on local government by building sustainable, community-driven solutions.
Our Mission is to empower residents with the tools to revitalize and sustain their neighborhoods, transforming them into healthy, economically, socially, and culturally vibrant communities where everyone thrives.
Community Revitalization Alliance, Inc. envisions a future where every neighborhood serves as a pathway to opportunity and prosperity for all its residents.

Embracing future prosperity."
