About this organization
Mission
The mission of LifeBUILDERS is to restore dignity and provide hope to the residents of Regent Park, a Northeast Detroit neighborhood. This is accomplished in three ways: by empowering our youth with life skills and providing opportunities to grow and learn in a safe environment, by reclaiming an entire neighborhood from the effects of disinvestment by providing high quality affordable housing, and by building a community of shared values, trust and hope for the future, all grounded in the truth of God’s Word.
About
LifeBUILDERS is a faith based non-profit making strategic investments in the Regent Park neighborhood, all grounded in the love and truth of Gods Word. We are addressing the deficits in education, public safety, quality, affordable housing and job opportunities for the youth. We are reversing the past 20 years of disinvestment and hopelessness in the 97 block neighborhood by the operation of a Community and Worship Center. LifeBUILDERS has refurbished and operates an apartment complex and 40 homes that are rented at an affordable rate. We have converted an abandoned elementary school into a Early Childhood Education Center. We created community gardens and parks and have programs for senior citizens. We serve over 200 of the youth in the neighborhood with mentoring, sports leagues, summer day camps, overnight retreats, employment opportunities and an introduction to the God who loves them and has a plan for their lives.
