Prosperity Starts with Place
People deserve to live in supportive neighborhoods
Using a multi-generational lens, Amplify GR works in defined neighborhoods with neighbors, community partners, and businesses to preserve and widen pathways that create greater opportunities for neighbors to participate in and benefit from community growth.
Each neighbor deserves access to greenspaces, healthcare, high-quality education, affordable housing and good-paying jobs. Through a shared vision with neighbors, we co-create holistic environments within communities to amplify the priorities of those who call it home.
Why Amplify GR?
Amplify GR is rooted in the local community. We work at the intersection of people, partnership and place in the areas of economic opportunity, mixed-income housing, birth-to-career education and community wellness within Boston Square, Madison Square and surrounding neighborhoods within Grand Rapids, Michigan’s southeast side.
But we are also a leader in the national Purpose Built Communities movement, a network of 28 communities around the country committed to making holistic investments in defined neighborhoods. We take the best of national research and learnings and empower local leaders to create thriving neighborhoods in southeast Grand Rapids.
