Understanding Our Work: Interactive Logic Model
These interactive tools show how the East Lake Foundation works to strengthen our community as a member of the Purpose Built Communities Network. We work across four key components: Mixed-Income Housing, Cradle-to-College and Career Education, Community Wellness, and Economic Vitality.
Our logic model begins with the foundational work of East Lake’s architects Tom Cousins, Eva Davis, and Renee Lewis Glover, along with other community leaders, who spearheaded efforts to revitalize the neighborhood. It then illustrates how the work of the East Lake Foundation and its partners has evolved over the years. Each logic model maps out the connections between what we do, the contributions of our community partners, and the changes we are collectively striving toward. Together, our work preserves rich cultural histories, strengthens community connections, and creates pathways for every resident to lead a thriving, choice-filled life.

What are logic models?
Logic models are visual representations of how change occurs.
Think of these logic models as roadmaps that show how our day-to-day work connects to East Lake residents’ long-term vision for the community. They’re based on the Foundation’s current programs and initiatives, drawing on project documentation and conversations with staff as well as community partners.
Who are the logic models for?
Whether you’re a community partner, neighborhood resident, or simply curious about our work, these logic models can help you:
- Understand how different programs and initiatives connect to one another
- See how your participation or partnership contributes to broader community goals
- Track the different types of changes we are working towards
How to explore the models
Each of the four interactive models—Mixed-Income Housing, Cradle-to-College and Career Education, Community Wellness, and Economic Vitality—can be explored on its own or together:
- Start with a topic that interests you or relates to your connection with the East Lake Foundation.
- Click or hover over different elements and follow the flow from left to right to see how partners, strategies, and activities lead to community changes over time.
- Click ‘Learn More’ to see strategy descriptions, activities, and examples of East Lake Foundation programs contributing to a specific strategy.
- Look for connections between the models—our work in one area often supports progress in others.
