In 2012, Renaissance West Community Initiative (RWCI) was established to revitalize the Boulevard Homes public housing site into a vibrant village called The Renaissance. Our initiative uses a holistic community redevelopment approach, focusing on multiple critical factors, including mixed-income housing, educational opportunities, youth and adult development programs, health and wellness services and commercial investment.
