Xavier University Engages Cincinnati through the Community Building Institute

HUD User publishes a series of case studies based on federal, state, and local strategies that increase affordable housing opportunities and support sustainable community development. The projects and community development efforts featured in these reports have demonstrated innovation through a multitude of partnerships and initiatives.

Based in the Jesuit mission of service for the common good, Xavier University supports community-driven redevelopment efforts in the Cincinnati area. In 1995, the university joined with the United Way of Greater Cincinnati to found the Community Building Institute (CBI) to help communities develop and implement plans to improve their quality of life. CBI deploys the technical resources of Xavier and funding from the United Way to support capacity-building and data-based planning, evaluation, and research in redeveloping neighborhoods in the city and region.
