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. The Renaissance completed construction in 2016 and consists of 334 units of mixed-income housing. Our Education Village is comprised of the Renaissance West STEAM Academy (RWSA) that opened in 2017 and the Howard Levine Child Development Center (HLCDC) that opened this year in 2018. Please view the video to the right to see more about our mission and our hope for the community..
