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)
“The mission of men there seems to be, like so many busy demons, to drive the forest all out of the country, from every solitary beaver swamp and mountain-side, as soon as possible.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I’ve been cursed for delving into the mysteries of life. Perhaps death is sacred, and I’ve profaned it. Oh, what a wonderful vision it was. I dreamed of being the first to give to the world the secret that God is so jealous of, the formula for life. Think of the power, to create a man. And I did, I did it, I created a man. And who knows, in time I could have trained him to do my will. I could have bred a race, I might even have found the secret of eternal life.”
—William Hurlbut (1883–?)
