For any big and beautiful tree, the condition of the roots determine the heights and health of its branches.  Likewise, any community will also need roots - people, spaces and businesses - that are strong and healthy, in order for its citizens to thrive in place.

​

Allapattah is in imminent danger of total uprooting and displacement.  The national wave of outrageous real estate price increases is now a crisis in this neighborhood.  Small business owners have seen rent increases of up to 300%, even through the COVID pandemic!  

​

The Allapattah Collaborative CDC is committed to rooting as many small business owners as possible in the neighborhood, in two major ways:

1. Technical assistance - quipping them with all the tools and skills needed to be resilient.

2. Community ownership - mobilizing the neighbors and business owners to purchase their storefronts and affordable housing buildings.

​

This is where YOU can help! Join us in helping small businesses be permanently planted in the neighborhood, so the community as a whole can thrive and rise to new heights.
