Taking a Collective Approach to Equitable Development in Kansas City

September 9, 2022

Integrity Capital Management is proud to join the conversation on equitable development in Kansas City, focusing on strategies to create a more inclusive and thriving urban landscape. Recently, our founder Terrell Jolly participated in a panel hosted by the Kansas City Public Library, titled “Taking a ‘Collective’ Approach to Equitable Development in KC.” This event brought together community leaders, developers, and local advocates to discuss how a collective effort is essential in addressing the disparities that affect underserved neighborhoods across the city.

The panel highlighted the pressing need to make Kansas City’s development accessible and beneficial to everyone, especially communities historically left behind. Terrell shared Integrity Capital Management’s approach to building affordable, sustainable housing and fostering opportunities for economic mobility on Kansas City’s East Side. Our work emphasizes the importance of local engagement and collaborative partnerships in making a lasting impact. As Terrell noted during the discussion, “Building stronger communities means ensuring that people have access to stable housing, meaningful opportunities, and the resources needed to thrive.”

Integrity Capital Management has long believed that addressing inequity requires intentional action, transparency, and a community-first mindset. Through our projects, we strive to ensure that affordable housing isn’t just an initiative but a foundation for long-term stability and growth in Kansas City’s neighborhoods. Our partnerships with nonprofits, local businesses, and residents are vital to the impact we aim to make. Events like this panel are crucial in advancing that mission, fostering connections, and sharing ideas to make Kansas City a place where everyone has the chance to succeed.
