We work alongside community leaders to unlock vibrant, holistic, and affordable neighborhoods.
Local leaders care deeply about achieving outcomes that work for the whole community. We have a tried-and-trusted library of tools, workshops, and services with a long track record of building momentum in communities of all kinds.
Community Engagement
IDENTIFY AND ENGAGE KEY STAKEHOLDERSOur Community Engagement services focus on identifying and connecting with key stakeholders to foster meaningful public dialogue about housing and development. We facilitate interactive sessions that bridge the gap between community voices and practical constraints, ensuring all participants have a shared understanding of local market realities, financial feasibility, and development possibilities.
Through these collaborative engagements, we help communities develop action-oriented strategies that reflect both neighborhood priorities and broader community needs. Our approach ensures that local progress is both achievable and scalable, grounded in what is financially viable, physically feasible, and politically sustainable.
Technical Analysis
UNDERSTAND THE CURRENT STATE & DEFINE YOUR FUTUREOur Technical Analysis services provide comprehensive assessment of your community's current housing landscape by examining the complex relationships between building codes, zoning regulations, economic development tools, and financing mechanisms.
Flywheel's expertise allows us to identify which key factors need adjustment to achieve optimal outcomes for your community. Our team delivers clear, accessible data through detailed GIS mapping and thorough market analyses, while guiding policy discussions to ensure new regulations are strategically crafted.
We empower local communities with the technical insights needed to make informed decisions that align with their specific objectives and market realities.
Development & Strategy
CREATE AND EXECUTE STRATEGIC PLANSStrategy and planning are crucial elements that, all too often, gather dust on a shelf. Our team can help you create and execute on the plans you’re most proud of, and update the plans that just aren’t getting the job done. Our comprehensive approach addresses both the overarching goals and the finer points, leading to effective and sustainable outcomes.
Communication
BUILD PUBLIC MOMENTUMCommunications can make or break an idea, and it’s easy to get lost in the weeds when talking about housing.
From presentations to public campaigns, we help craft local narratives and messages around what matters to the people in those communities — helping key stakeholders understand the big ideas and why they matter.
Economic Development
CATALYZE AND SUSTAIN GROWTHWe work hand-in-hand with local economic development partners to build strong, durable and resilient local economies. Our capabilities complement teams at all stages of the development process; from crafting a broader regional strategy, prioritizing opportunities, to building momentum for locally developed projects.
