GROVE PARK FOUNDATION IS WORKING WITH THE RESIDENTS OF THE GROVE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD TO CREATE A CRADLE-TO-COLLEGE QUALITY EDUCATION PIPELINE, SECURE AND INCREASE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR GROVE PARK RESIDENTS, AND IMPROVE COMMUNITY WELLNESS - PHYSICAL, FINANCIAL, CULTURAL, AND SOCIAL. THE FOUNDATION ACCOMPLISHES THIS AS A "COMMUNITY QUARTERBACK", LEVERAGING COMMUNITY ASSETS AND CONNECTING NEEDED PARTNERS, PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES TO AN UNDERSERVED NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS EXPERIENCING HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, HIGH POVERTY, LOW RESOURCES AND INTENSE DEVELOPMENT PRESSURE. THE GOAL IS TO BREAK THE GENERATIONAL CYCLE OF POVERTY BY CREATING WIDE AND SUSTAINABLE PATHS OUT OF POVERTY FOR LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS.
