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.

“It is the mission of the twentieth century to elucidate the irrational.”

The time. Redeem.
The unread vision in the higher dream
While jewelled unicorns draw by the gilded hearse.”
