In this webinar-style session, Anna and Dan will share how their organizations are advancing neighborhood revitalization, resident engagement, and community-led economic development in Bethlehem and Allentown. Participants will learn about innovative strategies to strengthen local economies, support affordable housing, build community partnerships, create opportunities for youth engagement, and empower residents to play an active role in shaping their neighborhoods.

Anna Smith, Director of Community Action Development Bethlehem, will discuss her work implementing a comprehensive, community-driven revitalization strategy focused on affordable housing, community connectivity, public and green spaces, and resident leadership.

Dan Bosket, Director of Community Action Development Allentown (CADA), will highlight approaches to neighborhood revitalization and resident engagement, including lessons learned from Allentown's Core Neighborhood Partnership Program and efforts to elevate community voices in local decision-making.

Following the presentation, participants will have the opportunity to engage with the speakers through a facilitated discussion, ask questions, and share perspectives with peers from across the Community Action network.
