Our Vision for Renaissance Heights

As a leader in Community Development, Renaissance Heights Foundation (RHF), is dedicated to transforming Southeast Fort Worth through our innovative initiatives and collaborative approach. Our mission is rooted in implementing the Purpose Built Communities model, which stands on four pillars: Mixed-Income Housing, Cradle-to-College Career Education, Community Wellness, and Economic Vitality.

Founded on the belief that every community deserves access to quality housing, education, and resources, RHF has proven effective at playing the role of strategist and coordinator and succeeded in enhancing economic mobility in 76105 and surrounding zip codes. We work tirelessly elevating our community initiatives and advocating for the people who call Renaissance Heights home.

In the area of Neighborhood Development (2024-2026), we will prioritize stakeholder-led development of neighborhood infrastructure, funding acquisition, and community support to realize our vision. Current projects include the development of mixed-income apartments, single-family homes, and townhouses, as well as permanent supportive housing rental units in collaboration with HousingChannel, Columbia Residential and the Salvation Army of North Texas.

Going Beyond Housing: We understand the importance of creating vibrant, inclusive community spaces. We are dedicated to advocating for targeted investments in the civic infrastructure, including streetscape improvement, development of Happy Park, creation of new athletic fields and pavilion at the YMCA, and establishment of commercial retail space for small businesses.

As we move forward, we’re eager to highlight Renaissance Heights and Purpose Built Communities as a blueprint for successful community development. Emphasizing forward-thinking, innovative approaches, our aim is to make a lasting, positive impact on the community that will endure for generations.

Experience the transformation with us! Welcome to Renaissance Heights.

In Community,

Kenny Mosley, Executive Director
