University of Memphis’ Center for Community Building and Neighborhood Action

CBANA partners university researchers with community based organizations to work on community building projects through a participatory research process. They’ve worked on a broad range of research projects, presentations as well as featuring Memphis specific research from the Brookings Institution. From their 2010 neighborhood profiles on eight Memphis communities to their presentation, ‘Understanding Foreclosure and Strengthening Housing Markets in Post-Subprime Environment,’ CBANA bridges research and civic engagement.
