[Mr] Municipal Readiness Partners

  • Developing a nuanced understanding of your community’s current conditions and market trends is fundamental to developing any plan. We can not only design the process to fetch this data, but also work with you to strategize a way to keep the information current and accessible to the decision makers in your community.

  • At their best, housing strategies are multi-faceted approaches that combine intimate market knowledge with site analysis and regional dot-connecting between implementation experts, funders, and developers. This is only possible through genuine partnership with residents and stakeholders.

  • An emerging area for municipalities is the deliberate assembly of strategies to tackle the persistent challenges of poverty. Since the issue is so far-reaching and includes economic development, infrastructure, education, housing, service provision, and environment, a multi-disciplinary team is necessary. We have an extensive network of collaborators and partner closely with on-the-ground professionals to develop strategies that combine physical improvements with service reforms, programmatic initiatives, and infrastructural considerations to make this the last plan you will need.

  • We assemble plans, policies, dashboards, implementation matrices, and interactive platforms in collaboration with clients in order to ensure the data can be kept current and made accessible to various audiences, from the general public and potential developers to municipal staff and elected officials. This ensures that information is democratized and decisions are rooted in reality.

Knowing who you really are and what you need to do to achieve your goals is fundamental to achieving anything. When the stakes are as high as the reinvigoration of a housing market or going to battle with poverty, the need to be candid, deliberate, evidence-based, and practical—within an aspirational framework—is even more critical.

A consultant-led process that brings the relevant stakeholders together to say, “this is who we are and what our community needs to do” is step one.
