“Our partnership with TLE has strengthened City Heights CDC’s ability to serve our local business community in meaningful, data-informed ways. Together, we’ve gone beyond traditional outreach by engaging in in-depth conversations with small business owners—listening to their stories, identifying their needs, and ensuring their voices shape the future of our work. This collaboration has resulted in community-driven data reports and impact assessments that not only guide our strategy but validate the lived experiences of our entrepreneurs. Thanks to this partnership, we’ve been able to connect more than 100 local businesses with targeted services, technical assistance, and funding support, amplifying our collective impact and ensuring the City Heights business community is seen, supported, and empowered.”
