Building Beloved Community
“Our goal is to create a beloved community, and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
The Nehemiah Initiative Seattle is a faith-based community development initiative (FBDI). Our mission is to disrupt the displacement of the African American community from urban centers and support retention of historically Black faith-based organizations through the development of affordable homes, community spaces and business places on the underutilized property owned by those organizations.
