Making Impact That Lasts
CHALLENGE 1
Columbus’ westside is home to nearly 72,000 residents. Many residents are at or below the federal poverty level and cannot keep up with the rising cost of housing. Homelessness is on the rise in the City and the westside is seeing the brunt of homelessness’ injustice.
CHALLENGE 2
Columbus’ westside has experienced a decline in quality housing over the many past decades. High-impact community partnerships - working with local officials and neighborhood associations are needed to improve housing inventory for westside residents.
CHALLENGE 3
Real-life and Real-time educational, employment and life skills opportunities are needed on Columbus’ westside for vulnerable youth and other vulnerable populations to increase their chances at becoming self sustaining and productive individuals starting as early as 14 years old.
OUR SOLUTION
ReVest Realty, LLC is seeking partnerships with culinary arts schools to specifically support youth and other vulnerable populations located on the westside. Concerted effort has been made to improve transit to and from the westside with the goal of increasing access for residents.
Things To Think About
Community involvement has already been sought, feedback obtained and entire project approved for development. Many, including City Councilmen, believe this project to be a catalyst to realizing major movement towards improving the westside. Most importantly and excitingly, revenues from food sales and event rentals will be allocated back into the culinary school to support students’ education and program sustainability. Key partnerships will be important at this level to ensure students have access to real-life, real-time life skills training and other important supports.
