THE MISSION OF INCOMMON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT IS TO ALLEVIATE POVERTY AT A ROOT LEVEL BY UNITING AND STRENGTHENING VULNERABLE NEIGHBORHOODS. BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THE GREATEST STRENGTH OF ANY NEIGHBORHOOD ARE THE RESIDENTS WHO CALL THESE PLACES HOME, INCOMMON IS COMMITTED TO TRANSFORMING NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGH NEIGHBORS THEMSELVES. BY BUILDING ON NEIGHBORS' STRENGTHS AND EMPOWERING NEIGHBORS TO WORK TOGETHER TO LEAD NEIGHBORHOOD CHANGE, INCOMMON IS BUILDING STRONG AND SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS WHO MIGHT OTHERWISE GROW UP UNDER THE DETRIMENTAL CONDITIONS OF POVERTY.
