Why Mooretown

The columns are already painted. The work is to match them.

Beneath the overpass that carries the name of Col. Giles D. Moore, Mooretown's columns are painted with the neighborhood's own images. The Coalition exists to bring that same care to housing, jobs, schools, health, and safety.

Our approach

Three ways we work

01

Public-private partnerships

We bring the District Attorney, Sheriff, Police Chief, School Board, hospitals, banks, and churches to the same table.

02

Policy innovation

Diversion programs, community hiring pledges, and homeownership grants that change how systems treat Mooretown.

03

Community-driven initiatives

Programs that already live here, from Project Seek to the Morning Star MBC Community Garden, scaled with residents leading.
