Our Executive Summary

Our Vision Statement

Our Mission

Core Values

Our vision is where a safe and caring community is healthy, thriving, and vibrant; and where its residents enjoy an increased quality of life. With such a longstanding history in the Austin community, STONE CDC is positioned to revitalize and to strengthen urban life.

Community development is significantly impactful when it meets the diverse needs of low-income and disadvantage people and places for improved housing, education, employment, and health. By doing so, community development organizations such as STONE Community Development Corporation support and improve the lives of our citizens and empower them through social and
economic integration with the proper alignment of capital resources and social justice. However, the community in which STONE CDC works is a neighborhood of high social inequality, substantial barriers to advancement, and crime-ridden, blighted areas.

Our mission is to serve and to transform the oppressed and those who need empowerment in the Austin community.
