I agree with your concept of investing at the community level. We are a grassroots organization in Connecticut that teaches reentry people how to go into business for themselves. It's called the P.R.I.D.E. PROGRAM. We are not financially supported by anyone because we are very small yet in the last 6 years we have created hundreds of small businesses. There are probably many other organizations like us that could expand if they were helped. Good article and a great solution if implemented everywhere.
