Mi Cometa Project

Mutual Housing Association's partnership with the not for profit Ecuadorian developer Mi Cometa began as an organization challenge to our executive director from; Achieving Excellence in Community Development, an 18-month educational program presented as a collaboration between NeighborWorks® America and Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. The partnership will provide an organized view of comparative international experience and best practices related to urbanization, urban development and poverty reduction.
