IRS990/Desc0LifeBUILDERS is a faith based non-profit making strategic investments in the Regent Park neighborhood, all grounded in the love and truth of Gods Word. We are addressing the deficits in education, public safety, quality, affordable housing and job opportunities for the youth. We are reversing the past 20 years of disinvestment and hopelessness in the 97 block neighborhood by the operation of a Community and Worship Center. LifeBUILDERS has refurbished and operates an apartment complex and 40 homes that are rented at an affordable rate. We have converted an abandoned elementary school into a Early Childhood Education Center. We created community gardens and parks and have programs for senior citizens. We serve over 200 of the youth in the neighborhood with mentoring, sports leagues, summer day camps, overnight retreats, employment opportunities and an introduction to the God who loves them and has a plan for their lives.
