Since 2016, Connect Community (“Connect”) has fought for human potential, working alongside residents and 85+ strategic partners to create the enabling conditions for Houston’s majority newcomer refugee and immigrant families, students, and entrepreneurs in the Gulfton and Sharpstown neighborhoods to build lives of promise. We and our founding partners, the YMCA of Greater Houston, St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, Legacy Community Health, and KIPP Houston Public Schools fundamentally believe that if we are to solve intergenerational poverty, we must build vibrant communities with residents and families at the center. Connect serves as the "community quarterback," overseeing and organizing our work through a four-pronged approach: building high-quality mixed-income housing, an effective cradle-through-career education pipeline, comprehensive wellness resources, and economic vitality.
