Insight Center For Community

Community Center in Oakland, CA
Community Center in Oakland, CA Community activists in the 1960's ignited the community economic development (CED) movement, supported by the federal government and the Ford Foundation, to bring low-income communities into the economic mainstream and to lift the poor out of poverty. Initially, dozens of nonprofit, community-based development corporations were funded under the theory that the residents of low-income communities should have a leading voice in the development of their own communities.
