Accordingly, it is our philosophy, small business development and investment focused in a specific community creates a circular flow of currency, localizes jobs, encourages homeownership, and supports public schools. We believe the overall economic health of the low-income community is synchronized with the quality of education and livelihood its residents possess. The economic infrastructure of the community has a direct impact upon a public school’s ability to provide the quality education students deserve.
