Initiatives include applying the point of view of the Viable Futures Toolkit to affordable and accessible housing, education and the achievement gap, land use and transportation planning, local food system development, and green nonprofit operations. Winner of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Award as a “Livable Communities for All Ages” designee, JABA remains a test site for leading ideas and offers on-the-ground learning opportunities and peer exchange through the Viable Futures Center. |
