The mission of Building Community Wealth is to provide employment and ownership opportunities for Montbello residents, combat gentrification, and create pathways to sustain generational wealth.

 

The Building Community Wealth initiative was created to work with residents in the Greater Montbello Area (GMA) to develop an economic system that puts their voices first. Building Community Wealth is a catalyst for change - creating viable solutions for the community residing in the 80239 and 80249 zip codes to thrive, not just live, in Montbello.

Building Community Wealth Policy Council

In an effort to highlight the voice of Montbello, Building Community Wealth relies on the knowledge and lived experience of a policy council composed of residents and stakeholders. Individuals involved in this endeavor have been asked to elaborate on the needs of Montbello residents and the obstacles that prevent residents (predominantly people of color) from achieving success within their community. The task of the policy council is to create a blueprint for success that will lay the foundation for small business owers and prospective homeowners seeking support.
