We’re excited to share that we’ve acquired our next whole-house rehab. And interior demolition begins this weekend! This bungalow-style house on South Kentucky has a lot of style and potential. It is going to be a great rehab project just outside of the Tepe Park neighborhood!

It's about building real relationships with neighbors!

[Austin Maxheimer @austinmaxheimer]

One of my favorite things we've done in the neighborhood happens to be one of the most simple: pop-up at different places, at different times, to meet new people. Last year we met 117 unique neighbors. #TepePark #WhatsGood47713

Hoopla is a great way to read eBooks, listen to eAudiobooks and music, and stream shows and movies! https://t.co/MEVvnI6qkO

As of today 90% of our youth are now at or above grade level in math!
70% have increased 2 or more grade levels in less then a year!

These are some incredible stats considering where they started!!

Take a bow SSYZ youth, you have earned it!!!!

Hans Edward Rosarion is from Haiti and he came to share his country's rich history with our youth. We learned about their flag which is a symbol of their revolution for independence, traditions, native foods, and their unique culture.

The heart of community is relationships.
In order to build a strong community, you need to build strong bonds between people.
We are truly blessed to have so many people investing in the youth and families here in Tepe Park.

Thank you so much for your time and compassion!
A couple of students even took our youth under their wing and walked with them throughout the event.
It was an awesome bonding moment for them and our families!

I love our neighborhood! Thank you so much for investing in us and building relationships in our community!!

[Austin Maxheimer @austinmaxheimer]

Growth Group ventured back out to pumpkin carve with the neighborhood. Tonight I did not want to do it. At all. Importance of community, spurring on to greater things.

[Southside Stars Youth @SouthsideStars_]

Reading is important... The relationships we can build from that is even more so.
Don't just read... Build!
