Haywood Street Community Development

Dignity through dwellings, connection through community.

Haywood Street Community Development is a sister nonprofit to Haywood Street Congregation.

The congregation began in 2009 as a ministry of radical inclusion in the homeless corridor of downtown, a wide embrace for folks excluded elsewhere, particularly residents with no place to call home. After more than a decade of sharing life with and among this community, a vision began to develop for deeply affordable housing grounded in the Haywood Street ethos — where giving and receiving are encouraged; where the boundaries of “us and them” are trespassed; where strangers become neighbors; and where each person is reminded of their sacred worth.

Haywood Street took a significant step in 2020 to form a distinct nonprofit with its own bylaws and board of directors to focus on this work. This is Haywood Street Community Development.
