Clearing the way for vibrant communities.
Revitalize Mississippi
is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, working to address the health, safety and societal issues of urban neglect. Abandoned properties and condemned homes create roadblocks to opportunity and an invitation to crime. They lower home values and increase anxiety. As more neighbors give up hope and leave, the neglect spreads - smothering entire neighborhoods.
Revitalize Mississippi demolishes derelict properties, cleans overgrown lots, assists neighborhood leaders to help strengthen neighborhood organizations, and partners with local organizations to build new, affordable housing. With your help, we’re not only rebuilding long-neglected neighborhoods, but restoring the power of community for those families.
Stronger neighborhoods mean healthier families and brighter possibilities.
Working alongside our neighborhood partners, we are not only transforming real estate but creating real community. Parks and green spaces create safe places for play and fellowship. A Community Land Trust ensures stewardship and stability. And the process of working toward these goals together builds a support system of resources and local leadership.
