What is Sustainable Communities?
The Coalition for Responsible Community Development's Sustainable Commu-nities Initiative is a collaborative effort including Vernon-Central's residents, schools, businesses, non-profit and community based organizations, churches, and law enforcement agencies. As lead agency, CRCD is working with our partners to address challenges in our community, which prevent residents from finding opportunities to thrive. Our public affairs and funding partners are Opportunity Nation (Be The Change, Inc.) and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation.
