B3 Partnership, Inc.

Our Community Initiative

The B3 Partnership is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to elevating over 83 neighborhoods of Southwest Atlanta. Southwest Living ATL is our flagship community media and storytelling program.

A History of Injustice

Southwest Atlanta's neighborhoods — like many Black communities across America — have been shaped by decades of systemic disinvestment, redlining, and narratives designed to undervalue what was already there. The stigma wasn't accidental. It was a tool.

Those same forces have historically been followed by displacement — development that arrives not to serve existing residents, but to replace them. We reject that model entirely.

Meet Southwest Living ATL

Through Southwest Living ATL, we're building a platform dedicated entirely to the life, culture, and homes of Southwest Atlanta — a place where the neighborhood speaks for itself, on its own terms.

We are just getting started, and we couldn't be more excited. Visit southwestlivingatl.com to follow along as we build.
