Inner
City Youth and The Refuge
Community Development Center have both brought hope and change
to Houston’s beleaguered Third Ward. The testimonies of hundreds
of youths, adults and families ring out from the streets that these two
ministries have made a profound impact on the surrounding community.
In late 2005, the boards of both organizations recognized that, working
together, they could forge an even brighter future for this underserved
area. While one has traditionally focused on serving youth, and the other
on adults and single parents, together they could realize the potential
of a truly family-focused organization making an exponentially greater
difference in the community.
Thus begins The Forge, combining the passion and expertise
of these two ministries’ founders, staffs and boards. The exciting
results are evident at the new facilities, located at 3150
Yellowstone Boulevard.
