Building community through collaboration and connection
Jeremiah Development is a not-for-profit created in 2007 to promote the well-being of the neighborhood surrounding its four founding churches: Court Street United Methodist Church, Emmanuel Episcopal Church, First Presbyterian Church, and Second Congregational United Church of Christ. The organization is charged with creating and maintaining safe, affordable, quality housing, partnering with other organizations to create and implement programs which enable residents of the neighborhood to develop the capacity to success, creating and supporting opportunities for neighborhood businesses to grow, and advocating for the beautification and enhancement of the neighborhood.
Building community through collaboration and connection Jeremiah Development provides opportunities for the under-served populations to link to local social service agencies and healthcare providers. Each event works toward eliminating barriers to those who may not have the knowledge and/or ability to navigate the dense social service network. Many agencies in Rockford are housed throughout the Greater Rockford/Winnebago County area, making it difficult to take that first step to get help.
