Strengthening families and transforming communities to create a stronger, more equitable, and prosperous St. Louis—once and for all.
A region is only as strong as all of its communities
Beyond Housing is a nationally recognized, comprehensive community development organization dedicated to transforming the St. Louis region’s under-resourced communities to create a stronger, more equitable, and prosperous St. Louis for all.
Our work brings civic leaders, targeted nonprofits, corporate partners, and residents together to create meaningful and lasting change.
WHO WE ARE
With one of the most comprehensive community development efforts in the U.S., our work is designed to create a stronger St. Louis for all.
OUR MODEL
Our innovative model is based on more than 40 years of data and insights and is wholly unique in community development.
Our Work
Transforming under-resourced communities requires a comprehensive range of programs addressing the needs of individuals and families and the greater community.
Our Once and for All effort is focused on bringing our work to scale to create greater impact for the St. Louis region. The effort launched with a series of letters and videos called “Dear Lou” to begin a conversation on how to finally move our region forward and the need to invest in our under-resourced communities—once and for all.
Creating a stronger, more equitable, and prosperous St. Louis is only possible through public and private support.
