We Are Purpose Built

Transforming Houston Neighborhoods from the Inside Out

MCC is a proud network member of Purpose Built Communities, the nation’s leader in strengthening overlooked neighborhoods and paving pathways to prosperity. Founded in 2009 by philanthropists Warren Buffett, Tom Cousins, and Julian Robertson, Purpose Built supports 27 member organizations in 14 states. Purpose Built’s approach is based on the belief that neighborhoods are engines of social change and hyperlocal organizations are uniquely positioned to understand and address their communities’ needs.

MCC’s approach to revitalization through the pillars of housing, health and wellness, education, and economic vitality mirrors Purpose Built’s innovative structure. Purpose Built member organizations around the country have had data-demonstrated impacts in developing safe and affordable housing; reducing poverty; reducing crime; increasing high school and college completion; and creating accessible pathways to employment, wealth accumulation, and social mobility. MCC is deeply grateful for Purpose Built’s support and proud to be a Purpose Built Community in Houston.
