Curing the Poverty Disease through education, information, technology, and prayer...

A movement for equity in America has taken root in communities across the country: transportation equity, healthy communities, green jobs, housing opportunity, and infrastructure equity - and the list continues. As the recent economic recession has set in, communities are organizing to ensure that recovery dollars promote their visions for vibrant communities that lift up those who have been hurt first and worst.

Dyna-circ {dynamic circulation of dollars and information} is an approach to achieving these outcomes and creating healthy, vibrant, communities of opportunity. It includes guiding principles (see below) and a set of strategies that ensure that low-income communities and communities of color participate in and benefit from decisions that affect their families, their neighborhoods, and their life.

The Dynacirc approach is the pathway to regional equity. The goal of regional equity is to ensure that everyone—regardless of the neighborhood in which they live—has access to essential ingredients for economic and social success: living-wage jobs, viable housing choices, public transportation, good schools, strong social networks, safe and walkable streets, access to industry, healthy food, and so on.

The Economic Research Institute presents several different strategies that advocates can use to ensure that neighborhood change and investment brings tangible benefits to current residents.  The strategy provides comprehensive information about how resources both human and financial must circulate to protect the health of the community’s micro economy. The result of unhealthy circular flow is crime, illeritacy; unemployment etc. When a community is unhealthy absenteeism is high, productivity, is low, and less wealth is created. These strategies continue to evolve and expand, the strategy now includes more focus on Health Wellness and Education.
