Mission and Vision
RRC's mission is to create sustainable communities through knowledge sharing, community building, housing and economic opportunities with residents at the center of our effort. The RRC way is a unique, holistic approach to community development that supports residents as well as the physical and spiritual components of community. This can be achieved by providing affordable housing, rehabilitation of existing housing, assisting existing businesses and new businesses, supporting community associations, providing financial and homebuyer education, encouraging positive out-of-school activities for youth, etc. RRC seeks to upgrade living conditions in communities, but most importantly empower the residents to achieve these goals themselves through organizing and human capacity building. RRC seeks to restore neighborhoods to a family of communities supported by and supportive of their neighbors, while developing a model for others to follow. RRC also seeks to create self-sufficient communities.

Famous quotes containing the words mission and, mission and/or vision:
“Man is eminently a storyteller. His search for a purpose, a cause, an ideal, a mission and the like is largely a search for a plot and a pattern in the development of his life story—a story that is basically without meaning or pattern.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“Not in vain is Ireland pouring itself all over the earth. Divine Providence has a mission for her children to fulfill; though a mission unrecognized by political economists. There is ever a moral balance preserved in the universe, like the vibrations of the pendulum. The Irish, with their glowing hearts and reverent credulity, are needed in this cold age of intellect and skepticism.”
—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
“Thinking is seeing.... Every human science is based on deduction, which is a slow process of seeing by which we work up from the effect to the cause; or, in a wider sense, all poetry like every work of art proceeds from a swift vision of things.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
