NeighborWorks America

"In a moment of despair, the question emerged: What if we bought our neighborhoods back?” That question, posed by Erica Alexia Ledesma, a recipient of NeighborWorks America’s 2024 Dorothy Richardson Award for Resident Leadership, encapsulates the spirit of resilience and community empowerment celebrated at this year's awards ceremony. The awards, named after community development pioneer Dorothy Richardson, recognize resident leaders who have made significant contributions to their communities. This year's honorees have tackled challenges ranging from wildfire recovery to housing insecurity, demonstrating the power of resident-led initiatives to create positive change.
