The article examines topical aspects of financial support for sustainable development of local communities in decentralization, martial law, and institutional transformation of the public administration system. The concept of internal and external sources of financing that constitute the resource base for local economic development is revealed, and the need for their balanced use to ensure social stability, infrastructure modernization, and economic autonomy of territorial communities is justified. The primary forms of internal resources are structured revenues to local budgets, income from communal property, own services, and the potential of external sources — interbudgetary transfers, grant programs, investments, loan instruments, and public-private partnerships — outlined. Emphasis is placed on the importance of developing human, social, and institutional capital as key intangible resources of local self-government bodies that ensure the effective implementation of strategic initiatives. Particular attention is paid to modern mechanisms for attracting financing, including municipal bonds, crowdfunding, voucher mechanisms, preferential lending, and corporate social responsibility. It was emphasized that increasing the financial capacity of local communities requires local self-government bodies to have high managerial competence, openness to partnerships, strategic thinking, and the ability to mobilize both internal and external resources. The article substantiates the feasibility of applying a comprehensive approach to forming a resource base for local development, combining financial, organizational, managerial, and communication aspects. The study results are of theoretical importance for deepening the scientific foundations of regional development and practical value for the formation of strategies to increase the financial self-sufficiency and investment attractiveness of communities in conditions of crisis transformations.

Keywords: territorial communities; local economic development; financial security; internal resources; external sources of financing; budget autonomy; investments; grants; municipal finances; credit mechanisms; social capital; management capacity; decentralization; public administration; sustainable development.
