Project
Fresh Start

Project Fresh Start is a collaborative initiative that aims to empower a family transitioning from a state of homelessness to the accumulation of generational wealth through the life-changing opportunity of homeownership. We understand the positive impact that stable housing has on families' long-term financial well-being and their ability to break the cycle of poverty. Through this project, we brought together a coalition of partners, including City Mission, Jacks Entertainment, Habitat for Humanity, T-Mobile, Burten Bell Carr Development, Iota Phi Theta, The World Renown Downing Brothers, AKA Construction, Rocket Mortgage Fund, Humble Designs, and various community-based organizations. Working as a unified force, we are committed to supporting this family as they embark on a journey towards stability, self-sufficiency, and prosperity.

Homeownership plays a crucial role in building generational wealth and providing a stable foundation for families. For families transitioning from homelessness, it is even more vital as it offers stability, security, and a sense of belonging. By providing a safe and permanent home, we empower single-parent-headed households to create a nurturing environment for their children, fostering their educational and personal growth. The Project Fresh Start initiative recognizes the significance of stable housing and its potential to break the cycle of poverty, promoting upward mobility, and fostering long-term economic independence.

The Project Fresh Start initiative will commence on June 13, 2023, with the collaboration of our dedicated partners. Over the following months, we will work diligently to identify and secure suitable housing, complete necessary renovations, and provide wrap-around services for the selected families. The project is slated for completion and delivery of the home on September 30, 2023, ensuring a seamless transition for the family towards a brighter future.
