The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Equitable Community Development initiative emphasizes transforming neighborhoods so every resident can live their healthiest life—no matter their ZIP code. By aligning community development and health equity, RWJF invests in affordable housing, infrastructure, and financial systems that combat the effects of structural racism and create generational opportunity. This work resonates with Aspen CSG’s Thrive Rural Framework, which also champions local leadership, asset-based strategies, and systems change to ensure rural places can thrive on their own terms. Together, these efforts underscore that equitable community development is central to building healthy, prosperous futures for all.
