Our Role

The Community WEB’s role is to convene, cohere, and strengthen Chicago’s community wealth building ecosystem.

Coalition Building

We bring together community organizations, technical assistance providers, and advocates to align goals, share resources, and strengthen Chicago’s community ownership ecosystem. Our coalitions help build collective power and a unified vision for shared wealth and shared governance.

Pipeline Building

We support projects at every stage by providing coaching, technical assistance, and access to capital. Our goal is to grow the number and strength of community-owned housing, land, and business projects across Chicago.

Infrastructure Building

We create the systems, policies, and shared tools that make community ownership easier to start and sustain. From shared back-office services to policy advocacy and capital strategies, we’re building the foundation for a lasting community wealth ecosystem.
