With 20 years of experience building affordable housing and community power, LINC UP has become more strategic in its pursuit to achieve racial equity in Grand Rapids.
At its core, LINC UP provides transformational work in positively affecting change in West Michigan neighborhoods. They've partnered with other like-minded organizations to create the Community Owns Safety Coalition to help empower citizens and help them advocate for policies; ultimately changing policies that limit advancement opportunities in under-resourced communities and neighborhoods.

- Affordable Housing
- Mental Health
- Physical Health
- Environmental Sustainability
- Police Accountability
- Equitable Economic Development
The next opportunity to get involved will be to attend their (re)invest in GR Community Report on March 29.
