Embracing Social Enterprise - Using the Market to Serve People Instead of Profits

This workshop will spotlight an innovative social enterprise that is currently serving the Louisville community and the local church. Additionally, it will serve as a think tank for partitioners to envision how they might begin to embrace economic development through social enterprises and asset based community development in their context. The presenter will introduce Promise Housing Plus, a non-profit construction company, from its inception as a model and allow participants to work collaboratively to envision practical steps that they can take in their own context to create a social enterprise that leverages community assets to serve their neighbors.
