HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT
Vanguard transforms lives through affordable housing development. Vanguard has built 236 units in the North End. Historically, we have developed these projects to assist low-income individuals and first time buyers in finding a home. It is our goal to increase the housing stock in the North End for qualified low-middle income buyers. We are in predevelopment of two major housing projects.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND PLANNING
Vanguard believes that community development must rest on the ideals, needs, and desires of that community. We believe that all development especially in existing neighborhoods of color must be based on the values of racial justice and economic equity.
ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT
Vanguard currently serves as the Commercial District Manager to support the growth of the North End Business District and North End neighborhoods; including Milwaukee Junction. Currently, Vanguard’s Economic Development Department serves as the lead agency of the Business District.
Vanguard Community Development (VCD) is a stalwart champion of the North End. Vanguard was founded in 1994 by Bishop Edgar Vann and Second Ebenezer Church. Since our founding by the Bishop and the church, Vanguard has evolved into a broad-based community development entity. We have advocated and worked for the North End over all these years. Vanguard remains in the North End; our Vanguard Community Center and offices are located at 2795 East Grand Boulevard.
Still here for the North End!
