Since 2016, Connect Community has been dedicated to building an opportunity rich Gulfton/Sharpstown to improve life projections for Southwest Houston’s 91% newcomer population. 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 be successful, we must build vibrant communities with residents and families at the center. As the "community quarterback," Connect oversees and organizes 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. Through our education work, we invest heavily in youth development initiatives to provide our city’s future leaders every opportunity to thrive and contribute to building a stronger, more vibrant city for us all.
