In 2021, WNCLB refocused its efforts on rebuilding underprivileged neighborhoods by developing an equitable housing strategy across the East Side, West Side, and Hilltop areas — aiming to create 140 affordable housing units, remove 60 unsafe structures, and establish 40 community greenspaces. The organization also partnered locally—for example, with Central Baptist Church CDC—to launch a workforce development program employing eight East Side residents to help maintain more than 260 properties, restoring community pride and ownership.
