THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IS ANCHORED BY THE MANHOOD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND S.H.E. (STRONG, HEALTHY AND EMPOWERED) AND PROVIDES SUPPORTIVE INITIATIVES FOR THE FAMILIES OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE PARTICIPATING IN THESE PROGRAMS. THE PROGRAM DEVELOPS THE CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY OF EACH MEMBER BY COMBINING CLOSE MENTORING RELATIONSHIPS WITH EXPOSURE TO SITUATIONS THAT REINFORCE MORAL AND ETHICAL THINKING. THEY ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN CAMPS, JOB ENTERPRISE EMPLOYMENT, AND LEADERSHIP POSITIONS TO HELP DEVELOP DISCIPLINE, SELF-ESTEEM, AND CONFIDENCE TO BECOME OUTSTANDING CITIZENS WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITY AND ROLE MODELS WITHIN THEIR AREA OF INFLUENCE.

THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAM HAS BEEN A LONG-TERM GOAL OF THE ORGANIZATION TO ASSIST RESIDENTS IN SECURING COMFORTABLE HOUSING AT A COST THEY CAN AFFORD AS A WAY TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE COMMUNITY. THE HOUSING INITIATIVE WILL TRANSFORM UNDERUSED, INDUSTRIAL, AND INNER-CITY PROPERTIES, IN A ONCE DESOLATE AND FORGOTTEN NEIGHBORHOOD, INTO A LARGE AND THRIVING AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMUNITY. THIS ACTIVITY OF THE MODEL NOT ONLY ASSUMES THAT IMPROVED HOUSING STOCK WILL ENHANCE THE PHYSICAL SPACE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT IT WILL ALSO ENHANCE COMMUNITY MEMBERS' WELL-BEING AND CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY. THE ORGANIZATION HAS ACCUMULATED 64 ACRES IN THE COMMUNITY WITH THE GOAL TO SECURE ADDITIONAL ACREAGE WHICH WILL ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS IN A MIXED INCOME COMMUNITY.
