Redeemer Center for Life (@redeemermpls) is a Black-led non-profit in North Minneapolis with transformative community programs including affordable housing units, youth leadership programs, financial staility courses, and career development opportunities.

They are committed to both social action and financial and programmatic investing in the local community’s people, ideas, and businesses. By creating a space and for the community to get involved and voice their concerns, they help identify and create resources, programs, and other events that best fit the communities interests and needs.

As the metro area expands into the Northside and the Harrison Neighborhood begins to gentrify, RCFL focuses on residents’ concerns about predatory rent practices, increased cost of living, and plateaued wages, especially in light of North Minneapolis’ staggering 23% unemployment rate.

Northside residents drive RCFL programming, which aims to empower participants and help create financial stability for youth, adults, and families. Twenty two years of experience prove that through programs like Venture North, a full-service bike and coffee shop that offers leadership positions and employment to high school-age youth, RCFL can increase the prospects for young people to create meaningful and prosperous lives by supporting their educational needs and helping them develop work and social skills that lead to a career path vs. a job.

For adults and families working toward economic stability, RCFL offers 26 attainable and transitional housing units. These safe, dignified, and well-positioned homes offer access to public transport, local amenities, and other resources available on the RCFL campus. RCFL attainable housing offers financial, emotional, and community support to all residents.
