Aspire Higher Foundation
At the Aspire Higher Foundation, we strive to establish vibrant community spaces and innovative programs in the Near Northwest Neighborhood where residents can live, create, and connect. We actively work to eradicate systemic racism, social injustice, and a history of disinvestment in our community by renovating and building residential dwellings. We seek to uplift the community by revitalizing and repurposing existing structures.
To eliminate the lack of access, we will provide housing for educators and artists; create education incubators; and offer experiences for youth in technology, creative arts, economics, sports, gardening, and sustainability. We operate Aspire House, a center for community gathering and social programming for all residents.
