A Community Co-op Movement “Change can be progressive or regressive, but evolution always moves forward. It’s time to evolve our community on an innovative & historical level” – James Wilson WHAT IS RISING EVOLUTION? Empowerment through direct community engagement is the basis of a true community co-op where the community invests in themselves. To accomplish this goal, reshaping social capital, community wealth development, equity with inclusive, and sustainable quality of life development are all essential factors that will determine success. Rising Evolution seeks to address redlining, equity and social justice, and affordable housing assistance in a manner that translates resources to cultivate sustainability. Through a dedicated collaborative and transparent partnership with Edna Martin Christian Center and the Martindale-Brightwood CDC, we strive to build pathways and opportunities for true community self-sustainability. We cordially invite you to support Rising Evolution (This Is Just The Beginning) the vision of development at the community level. These 360° approaches to aggressively engage residents for sustainable growth align with the mission and program outcomes of Circle Up Indy, Edna Martin Christian Center, and Martindale Brightwood CDC, as well as resident-led Quality of Life Plans and initiatives. The partners are committed to ensuring the Martindale-Brightwood Community reaches its highest potential. Rising Evolution focuses on a comprehensive approach to community economic development through the following efforts: affordable homeownership access, moving residents from renters to homeowners; on-site affordable 3D printed home and container home development; fundamentals of construction using 3D printing training; Indiana roundtable OSHA construction certification; community resident/stakeholder home repair, and collaborative entrepreneurial development. Historically, the collaborating entities have served as a concierge of resources to the community with hopes of inspiring less violence and developing a healthier community. However, today, each entity has significantly increased capacity and adapted collective missions in pursuit of a broader initiative to adequately address the needs of the population served.
