HEROhousing works as a catalyst for community development to end rural poverty in the Alabama Black Belt. As a non-profit, HERO (Hale Empowerment and Revitalization Organization) provides economic development, community resources, housing education, and affordable housing construction. When funding is available they also provide youth programming.
Why? HERO is an excellent model for a locally-based (county-wide) organization working to revitalize places that have long been marginalized.
