Neighborhood Revitalization

The foundation focuses on solutions that promote stable and vital neighborhoods for low-income families and individuals. Economically disadvantaged communities often suffer from an overcrowded and deteriorating housing stock and a lack of community facilities and public amenities that make neighborhoods appealing places to live and raise families. To address
these issues, the foundation supports efforts to improve physical conditions in economically disadvantaged communities through organizations that develop permanent, quality affordable housing and community facilities and provide residents with a voice in land-use and planning decisions that affect their quality of life.
