Overview

Mission

To provide quality, stable, and affordable housing through real estate development and housing rehabilitation services, and to improve the quality of life for residents in our service area.

What it reported doing in 2024

Re-entry prevention program, a community-driven initiative designed to provide meaningful opportunities and support for individuals facing barriers to stable employment and reintegration into society. This program specifically serves three key groups 1 individuals recently released from incarceration, 2 those at risk of entering the justice system who are seeking preventive measures to change their trajectory, 3 individuals who have difficulty maintaining employment and need structured discipline and guidance to succeed in the workforce. Participants in the program are employed to perform lawn care and landscaping services in the community, addressing abandoned and overgrown lots through a partnership with the city. This work beautifies the community, revitalizes neglected spaces, and includes assistance for elderly residents who are unable to maintain their properties. The program not only instills a strong work ethic and responsibility but also contributes to the overall safety and aesthetics of the community.
