For nearly thirty years, the Foundation has helped to create mixed-income housing and infrastructure, educational opportunities from cradle to college, and community wellness activities such as entrepreneurship, career readiness, and financial literacy, among others, to ensure the East Lake neighborhood and its residents are recognized for what is possible and not defined by the past.

The successful transformation in East Lake served as the blueprint for establishing Purpose Built Communities, which continues to build strong, economically diverse communities that thrive across the country.
