Consulting Services

HarCo Coaching & Consulting envisions communities thriving with new and established businesses, housing options for all, and healthy places to live and thrive.

We connect organizations, problem solvers, and communities with the appropriate tools, resources, and opportunities to create holistic places that are no longer areas of disinvestment but areas full of investment!


Our focus is to enhance the quality of life of communities by improving the built environment with walkable, mixed-use, mixed-income, intergenerational communities. Communities will not be encumbered by the structural and systemic barriers, but have increased access to:

  • Housing opportunities

  • Wealth & Capital for innovation

  • Improved health outcomes

  • Self-sufficient communities

  • Cultural spaces and places
