Inner City Youth and The Refuge Community Development Center have both brought hope and change to Houston’s beleaguered Third Ward. The testimonies of hundreds of youths, adults and families ring out from the streets that these two ministries have made a profound impact on the surrounding community.
In late 2005, the boards of both organizations recognized that, working together, they could forge an even brighter future for this underserved area. While one has traditionally focused on serving youth, and the other on adults and single parents, together they could realize the potential of a truly family-focused organization making an exponentially greater difference in the community.
Thus begins The Forge, combining the passion and expertise of these two ministries’ founders, staffs and boards. The exciting results are evident at the new facilities, located at 3150 Yellowstone Boulevard.
