CBI is working on a holistic approach to community planning and development with residents, local businesses, non-profit organizations, and municipal and state agencies in three Rhode Island communities. Initiated by Rhode Island Housing, a quasi-public agency that focuses on critical housing issues in the state, KeepSpace is a new approach to planning for and directing investment that supports communities where neighbors meet, people work, and children play.

In 1999, CBI facilitated a negotiated rulemaking process involving a 32-member US Department of Housing and Urban Development advisory committee. The goal of the process was to develop consensus recommendations on a HUD regulation governing the annual allocation of $8 billion of Federal funds for rental housing vouchers.

CBI staff facilitate annual strategic planning for a new national network of organizations that provide affordable housing in perpetuity, the Community Land Trust Network.
