It's a living, breathing, exhilarating reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause all across the country people are approaching poverty in a positive, creative, and energetic way. They are doing so courtesy of a new social phenomenon called Vibrant Communities: a network of people who are getting people together -- citizens (no matter what their income), community developers, business people, and representatives from all levels of government -- to determine needs, community assets, and strategies. They're putting plans into action with astonishing results.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book tells their story. And perhaps yours, too.","brand":"BPS Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47173316018416,"sku":"9781926645339","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781926645339_p0.jpg?v=1763635519","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781926645339","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
