In 2022, the City of Richmond, VA’s Office of Community Wealth Building (OCWB) began proactively seeking models of best practice for building community wealth from across the nation. OCWB staff reached out to Third Eye Network (TEN) as part of its efforts to update its strategic approach to the advancement of its mission and mandates to cut poverty rates by 40% by 2030. What followed initial discussions was the decision to organize an initial visitation between TEN staff and available Richmond stakeholders with the goals of introducing the agency to the city’s local context and identifying possible alternatives for progressive action.
