Works, Inc, a United Way Agency, along with its partners City of Memphis Division of Housing Community Development, Seedco, Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, SunTrust Bank, Regions Bank, Shelby County Department of Housing, and HUD are working together to make affordable housing attainable in the South Memphis community. In July 1999, we were approved as a Community Housing Development Organization. In February 2003, we were certified by the U.S. Department of Housing and Community Development and by Tennessee Housing Development Agency as a comprehensive counseling center. The vision of Works, Inc is to usher in the total, holistic, and healthful renaissance of our targeted community in South Memphis; to deliver its very rebirth. Our mission is to work to rebuild, restore and renew our community's families, and the environments in which they live through housing, economic development, and social services. The goals of The Works include: 1 ) increasing the availability of affordable housing, 2 ) delivering programs and services related to affordable housing and neighborhood revitalization, and 3 ) providing the social services, advocacy, and support requisite for families' holistic, healthful, socioeconomic success. A particular emphasis of The Works as its charter states is the development, ownership, and operation of housing for low and moderate income families and persons, and elderly and/or handicapped low and moderate income families and persons, under private and/or governmental housing programs.
