Mission Statement:
The mission of RWCI is to promote a collaborative community centered on quality housing, education, health, wellness and opportunity.
Vision Statement:
RWCI’s vision is to end intergenerational poverty through a holistic community revitalization effort.
Renaissance West serves as the community quarterback for this innovative neighborhood redevelopment initiative to end intergenerational poverty and improve economic mobility. We believe in the extraordinary impact of a holistic, place-based approach that includes mixed-income housing, a cradle-to-career education continuum, and wraparound services including health, after school, academic support, recreation, and job training programs. We work closely with Renaissance West residents to stay current on the needs of the community, and then partner with best-in-class agencies to provide access to quality programs and services, ensuring all efforts are coordinated, aligned, and effective.
