Improving lives

ReGenesis Community Development Corporation(RCDC) is a National model in developing and implementing programs focused on helping communities address environmental injustices through proper cleanup of polluted and hazarded areas, redevelopment and revitalization of local housing and business sectors, and providing proper healthcare access and options.

We assist communities with building the partnerships and collaborations needed to turn hopeless communities into beckons of hope in the future.

ReGenesis understands the link between communities that experience environmental injustices, and how that leads to disinvestment in jobs and businesses, struggling lack of access to healthy and affordable food, high rates of unemployment and underemployment, higher rates of crime, low property values, and unhealthy housing conditions.

"THE STORY OF REGENESIS IS ABOUT A COMMUNITY AND ITS REMARKABLE LEADER BEING EXPOSED TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION AND THEN IMPLEMENTING COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING, WHICH IDENTIFIES A PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEM, BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO ENVISION, AND IMPLEMENT BROAD SOLUTIONS TOWARDS CREATING VISIBLE CHANGE. THE STORY OF REGENESIS IS ABOUT A PLACE THAT 'COULDN’T GET ANY WORSE,' ACCORDING TO ONE RESIDENT, THAT IS WELL ON ITS WAY TO BEING TRANSFORMED."

"As the focus of ReGenesis evolved, the organization continued to link other entities from the public and private sectors into revitalization efforts. The project found strength in Mitchell’s ability to establish new partnerships and to sustain them."-- American Planning Association (APA)

"ReGenesis, the Department of Health and Environmental Control, and the Environmental Protection Agency worked in collaboration to have the landfill designated as a Superfund site, which resulted in the funding necessary to close and cap the landfill ... the redevelopment of the Arkwright landfill can serve as a model for other communities looking to make a great financial and environmental investment."
