Lewis Place Community Resilience Project with LPHP
 
 
 
Lewis Place Historical Preservation, Inc. is a nonprofit, 501 (c) (3) community-based neighborhood development corporation. This grassroots effort was established to fight neighborhood blight, disinvestment, and the deterioration of our beautiful historic community. LPHP is located in the north central west corridor of the City of St. Louis, Missouri and was incorporated as a non-profit to obtain the needed resources to revitalize our neighborhood. Lewis Place Historical Preservation is seeking the assistance of a VISTA member to assist a historically segregated redlined African American community, low to moderate income, in St. Louis city to build a resiliency project to address climate change through education and organizing to prepare and recover from disasters. This VISTA assignment is part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 7 Green VISTA Program which seeks to help historically underserved communities support environmental stewardship and anti-poverty efforts. The program is focused on creating new partnerships with local organizations in the Region 7 geographic area to support capacity-building projects that will support poverty alleviation and advance efforts to protect human health and the environment.
