Organization
Cornerstone Corporation is a Christian Community Development Corporation that provides an equitable opportunity for quality, affordable housing to those who would not otherwise have it; empowers constituents to grow their capacity to achieve their life goals with dignity; and collaborates with others for community-driven development of the West End neighborhood.
In addition to serving as a housing ministry, Cornerstone is the lead planning partner to develop a community development plan, engaging over 100 residents and stakeholders over the course of 30 public meetings, to co-author a neighborhood plan to define use and possibilities of the neighborhood for the next 20 years.
Partnership #1 (2021)
Cornerstone recently completed a 10-year impact plan, which includes implementing expanded services focused on financial mobility and generational sustainability. The Brown Sisters Foundation issued a challenge grant to attract new and increased donors to support the intentional design and implementation of these new capacity-building programs for their 70+ residents, ultimately seeking to support residents in rising out of poverty within a single generation.
