Salem Housing Community Development Corporation

Salem Housing Community Development Corporation Restoring Home, Creating Community, Enhancing Lives. (810) 785-5340
Open Monday-Friday

Salem Housing Community Development Corporation was created in 1984 by five neighborhood organizations and a church located on Flint’s north side. These six groups were brought together by common concerns about the deteriorating housing stock in their shared neighborhood in addition to vacant houses, a declining homeownership base and low-quality/high rent rental housing. They also shared concerns

for those families who had to live in these deteriorated housing structures due to lack of financial resources or the unavailability of other housing options. They created Salem Housing Task Force whose mission was to improve family living conditions by providing safe, decent and affordable housing for families of limited income and to act as a catalyst to restore the neighborhoods within it service area, a 132-block area bounded by Pasadena Avenue on the north, Saginaw Street on the east, Wood/Begole Streets on the south and Dupont Street on the west. This community role led Salem Housing from the initial roles of developing homebuyers and houses to one of comprehensive community development. In 2001 Salem Housing's Board of Directors changed the name of the organization to reflect this. Salem Housing Task Force Corporation became Salem Housing Community Development Corporation and in 2002 adopted a provision to work not only within our primary service area but throughout Genesee County on focused housing and community development projects.

We remember and honor former President of the Ruth Mott Foundation, Sarita (Sara) Rios who passed peacefully yesterday at her home in Toledo surrounded by her loving family. Sara was such a special friend to all and showed great courage and generosity of spirit even in the face of a terrible illness like ALS. When we were last together as a group we sang a song which she enjoyed very much and asked us to sing in memorial to her. So we lift our voices to you Sara, dear beloved friend.

Come Sail Away....... by Styx

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

**CALLING ON VOLUNTEER WARRIORS!**
This Saturday, the Warrior Dash obstacle course race will be held at the E.A. Cummings Center, 6130 E. Mt. Morris Road, and as a non-profit, Salem is able to earn a fee for providing volunteers. We hope to provide 31 from 6:30 a.m. to 1 p.m to earn $1,000…..and we are still not quite to the magic number of 31 (got approved 2 weeks ago and know that these dollars could cover a lot of mower blades & repairs for the Tool Shed’s work teams throughout the city so we are hoping to get a full team of volunteers.

Lunch and snacks provided to us and a Warrior Dash volunteer T shirt!

Could you join us? Meet at 6:30 a.m. at the Cummings Center and work until 1 p.m. Contact Jane at 785-5340, ext. 33.

In case you missed the words of wisdom imparted by Bill at his open house, let us recap:
"Salem has always been a Neighborhood homegrown group with volunteerism at its heart. The main goal of Salem has always been to empower people to make life better. Better for themselves and their neighbors! I have always believed that if you weren't willing to be part of the solution then you didn't have the right to complain about the problem. Everyone has something that they can contribute to the solution in some way." ~ Bill Hammond
