ABOUT US /
History

Ezekiel Community Development Corporation (“Ezekiel”), founded in 1998, is a 501 (c) (3), nonprofit organization whose overall goal is to train and develop minority contractors, renovate boarded up homes to rid the city of some of its blight and sell them to first-time homebuyers.
 
​

Our History


​Ezekiel recognizes the link between unemployment, homeownership and neighborhood stability. To that end, Ezekiel seeks to address these issues using a three-prong approach:  1) training unemployed and underemployed workers in the trades so they can earn family-sustaining wages, while simultaneously training and honing minority contractors’ skills so they can more successfully compete for contracts, while enhancing their on-the-job skills and, ultimately, build their business portfolios; 2) eliminating some of the neighborhood blight by renovating boarded up houses so they can be put back on the market; 3) selling the homes to first-time homeowners at an affordable price, thus helping to stabilize  the neighborhood.
 
Ezekiel has already completed four home renovations—successfully selling six homes at market value—and training some 35 - 40 workers who were previously unemployed, while using 15 minority contractors to complete these renovations. This approach has proven to be a win-win for minority contractors, Black unemployed males, neighborhoods and potential homebuyers.
