To our members, friends, community partners, supporters, we are reaching out to seek your support for an Affordable Housing Project planned for the grounds of the First United Methodist Church of Inglewood.
We envision this project to not only be a blessing to the would be residents, but to the community at large as a home of hope and healing in the heart of Inglewood.We envision this project to:
- Repurpose existing buildings for affordable housing to meet a critical need in our community and further our witness in housing justice for Inglewood residents.
- Create space to work with community partners to provide on-site services including:
- Workforce Development for workers in local area businesses
- Weekly Food Distribution (supporting 150+ families)
- Youth Mentoring
- Music Education for Pre-School Children
- Support Services for seniors & low-income families.
- Stabilize operations for Inglewood First UMC, through the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. With a creative commitment from Berg Holdings, our building partner, the agreement would create two sources of income for the church. That will stabilize operations for the next two years in anticipation of groundbreaking in early 2023. The church will be able to pay off 100% of its debts before a ground lease is signed and would be aligned and positioned to expand in ministry programming and grow as a congregation for this generation and generations to come.
The vision for the appointed time is NOW. We gratefully look forward to your support and partnership of this worthy project!
Thank you in advance for your support, prayers and partnership as we move forward in this worthy endeavor.
