Assets are both physical and intangible things that a community wants to retain, build upon, and sustain for future generations. Asset mapping encourages a shared understanding of the most important elements in the community.
The Asset Mapping process can be used to:
- Identify important local assets.
- Build an understanding of the group’s appreciation of these assets.
- Create activities that will mobilize segments of the community.
- Leverage community interest to source financial support.
