Current company Woodlawn United
Non-Profit Organizations · 19 employees · Founded 2010 · Birmingham, Alabama, United States
Since 2010, Woodlawn United has served as the community quarterback, leading an alliance of partners committed to building a pathway to prosperity in Birmingham’s Woodlawn community. Our holistic approach to community revitalization follows a model established by Purpose Built Communities, an organization that helps struggling communities across the country implement proven and effective strategies to end concentrated poverty. Working alongside residents and local stakeholders, we prioritize initiatives and leverage resources across three main pillars: a cradle-to-career education pathway, high-quality mixed income housing, and community wellness programs. Woodlawn United has made a marked difference in the community through: Construction of the state-of-the art James Rushton Early Learning & Family Success Center, which serves up to 100 children, ages 6 weeks to 4 years. Establishment of I3 Academy, under the State of Alabama’s Public Charter School law, which serves grades K-6 with an enrollment of approximately 520 students and is expanding to 7th grade for the 20••••23 school year. Creation of Woodlawn WORx, a placed-based workforce development initiative to holistically address economic mobility needs in the Woodlawn community. Construction of 64 multi-family townhouses that are rent-restricted and serve families with low to moderate incomes. Construction of 12 new single-family homes in a planned neighborhood and sold at market rate. Creation of the Homeowner Rehabilitation Program which has served over 128 families by providing needed repair work for those in need. Creation of (WE) Lead Fellowship Program to identify and develop individuals who desire to improve their community and give voice to traditionally underrepresented community members. Focus on community wellness and wraparound services that provide access to high quality health services, wellness programs in schools, green spaces, healthy foods and quality retail amenities.
