Practitioners that develop communities know the importance of social relationships in organizing and mobilizing community residents, as well as contributing to successful outcomes.The community residents often depend on others for assistance and do not realize the CBOs can help develop relationships and social ties to promote community development per Green & Haines (2016).

Choose an agency or organization in your community that promotes these types of relationships and ties, use specific examples to discuss how this agency promotes these relationships and ties for community development.
