Our organization was originally founded as an outgrowth of community action. Today, we honor that history and recommit to driving community-led development through community forums, meetings, and public events. Fundraisers provide vital support of our programs and residents, while allowing Community Roots Housing to develop more affordable homes.

Markets hosted throughout the year
REVIVAL Market Street is a fresh approach to outdoor markets that aims to repair some of the harm caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the endemic inequities it brought to light.
It’s a chance to support small businesses while reclaiming small sections of blighted city streets and revive our community in a productive and inclusive way.
