RESTORED HOUSES

 

God wants to see the inner city of West Palm Beach transformed. We want the kids of this community to have positive role models teaching them instead of the streets teaching them. We want the women to feel safe and cherished, We want the men to rise up and become the leaders of their own community. Change, at its core, happens through relationships. And we believe the best way to bring change to any community is to develop and grow the a Christ like community.

We are buying and renovating houses until we have a house on each street in the Tamarind Community. We currently have Indigenous leadership housing, Bow Down staff housing and Project 516 Discipleship housing. Over time, transformation at the foundational level of the neighborhood will have ripple effects into every area of the community – every business, every church, every school.

In less than a month and a half this house was purchased in full, remodeled, decorated and given to Grandma Pat, an employee at Urban Youth Impact in West Palm Beach. It’s amazing how many people volunteered and how much they donated to make it all possible. The home was named “The Psalm 23 House”. The project was an amazing display of how much God loves us, and how he’ll take care of us when we’re faithful to him. Thanks to all who volunteered!

There are three ways a house becomes a Restored Home:

  1. Indigenous Leadership Housing

    • Indigenous leaders that have shown a proven track record for serving this community will be provided an opportunity to rent to own their own home, with an interest free loan from our church. It is our desire to for them broaden their influence and take ownership of their own community.

  2. Intern Housing

    • We currently have an internship program within our ministry. Young adults live in the community rent-free and serve the community 20 hours/week with the end goal to have an outreach in every housing project where the most at-risk youth live.
