Isaiah 58:10-12
10. If you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness and your gloom be like the noonday.
11 The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your needs in parched places, and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters never fail. 12 Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in.
12 Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in.
About Us
Founded in 2022, ISAIAH 58 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION is a Faith-Based organization seeking to be a light rising in the darkness to those residing in Detroit’s underserved communities with a special heart for the 48214 zip code area. Our goal is to rebuild, raise up and restore.
We want to stand in the gap, preparing members of underserved communities for the future growth of the broader community, assuring they are not left out or left behind. We plan to accomplish this objection through quality of life enhancement initiatives and community development.
With a desire to positively impact the overall health and well-being of the community enabling families to thrive, ISAIAH 58 has a twofold focus: Health and Housing.
HEALTH
To stem the impact of the disparate health care system, we partner with other non-profits and health organizations to educate and provide resources to improve the health and wellness of underserved communities.
HOUSING
With the support of funding and grants we will initiate, promote and assist in the creation of affordable housing, and community improvements. We will be repairers of the breach, and restorers of the streets.
