  • Humes Housing Strategy
    • In the fall of 2020, a small team representing Whole Child Strategies, Inc., Frayser Community Schools and City Year Memphis began to brainstorm the idea of an anchor for the Smokey City Community in North Memphis that could galvanize the school and community for long-term, sustainable community building to support families, and ultimately children’s physical, mental, emotional and academic success. The concept that would evolve over the next eight months would focus on the creation of single-family housing that would address:
      • (1) access to quality, affordable housing and family support resources, resulting in stabilized families;
      • (2) the declined and declining population of Smokey City;
      • (3) serve as a way for a historic school to continue to be the center of the community; and
      • (4) create an opportunity to house future teachers for the school that would gain cultural competence and a sense of connectedness while addressing the teacher shortage.
