The Community Partnership Visa program offers a promising tool to help revitalize local economies across the country. Many communities have seen populations shrink, businesses close, and labor forces evaporate. The CPV program offers a new way for interested places to bring in new residents eager to put down roots and contribute to community life. And the program would do more than invigorate local economies. Visa recipients would have the opportunity to become long-standing members of their new community, helping strengthen its social fabric and civic life. By welcoming people through this program, the nation can add a new chapter to its history as an immigration hub to ensure that parts of the country at risk of being left behind instead thrive for generations to come.
