Summech CDC focuses on redeveloping Atlanta’s Mechanicsville neighborhood into an attractive and viable community for residents and businesses. Since its establishment in 1989, the CDC has developed nearly 1,000 units of rental and infill housing. Summech also provides free homeownership and homebuyer services, including a range of classes and individual counseling.
Resources for Residents and Communities empowers people to build sustainable local communities through housing and economic development initiatives, homebuyer education, financial counseling, and community events. Founded in 1989 as Reynoldstown Revitalization Corporation, the nonprofit changed its name as its focus expanded from the Reynoldstown neighborhood to the broader metro Atlanta area. One key initiative is its R’town Youth Work Team, which provides paid employment and job training to area youth, who maintain common areas, help with community events, and trim shrubs for elder residents.
Founded in 1991, Peoplestown Revitalization Corporation has developed well over 100 housing units, including one 94-unit apartment building complex. Peoplestown Revitalization has also facilitated several economic development projects including Inner-City Foods, a neighborhood garden to provide neighborhood youth with a source of income and business experience.
