Organizations Filed Purposes: WE HELP BUILD AND MAINTAIN STRONG SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES

Our Community Outreach Programs:Jacob’s Ladder is a four faceted ministry. We operate a children’s center, rebuild houses, practice an aggressive anti-blight crime remediation program, and organize within our service boundary, an inner city community known as the Belt line.

Our Community Education Programs: After School Children’s Center offers safe and fun sanctuary in a depressed and sometimes violent community. Curriculum is enrichment based: Children regularly go on field trips, are instructed in life skills, swimming, cooking, and entry level jobs. Up to 20 children attend.

Our Real Estate Enhancement Programs: Our Housing Renovation Team is rebuilding Belt Line infrastructure (25 to date since 2005). Volunteers, neighborhood residents and contractors comprise a team that promotes home ownership to qualified home buyers. Population affected: 2800. Our Real Estate Enhancement Team (neighborhood residents, volunteers and contractors) regularly maintains over 120 vacant lots, has demolished 50+ dilapidated structures, and enjoys an 80% drop in crime. Re-purposing the land for future development with a social justice building component drives this activity. Population affected: 2800
