Community development programs work to break cycles of generational poverty and help people thrive in community. The organization focuses on neighborhood transformation, economic development, health and wellness, and youth and family outreach. Its approach centers on relationships and on creating access, opportunity, and lasting change. Work is connected to a vision of neighborhoods with family stability, youth opportunity, strong education systems, economic resources, racial justice, healthy environments, and an active spiritual foundation. Urban Impact also brings Seattle-area pastors and ministry leaders together for gatherings focused on connection and renewal. Its community-building work takes place in Seattle, with an emphasis on supporting people and neighborhoods across generations.
