About Us
The McGriff Community Development & Services, Corporation was established in 1993 as a non-for-profit organization (A 501© 3 Corporation). Since that time, we have been working to develop its mission.
The specific purposes for which the corporation was formed are:
-
Provide housing for low-moderate income families
-
Enhance educational opportunities for teens and adults
-
Provide employment counseling and training
-
Provide job services
-
Provide social services (counseling to trouble youth, unwed mothers; drug prevention education; assistance with filing applications and interpreting documents/paperwork)
-
Develop economic development initiative (family financial planning, financial services and training for minority own businesses).
The corporation was accomplishing some of its goals up to the break-out of the Covid Pandemic. Since then, the corporation has been trying to get its footing back.
In doing so, the point of focus now is the up-keep of the apartments that McGriff provides for low-moderate income families. Due to the increased costs in our economy, which affects the cost of maintenance and parts, funds are urgently needed for the upkeeping of the apartments.
Because of our commitment to keep rent low to moderate for our families in the community, which will help them to prepare for economic self-sufficiency. We at McGriff are soliciting your help in our efforts to continue to serve our community. We are hopeful that you will pledge your financial support in these endeavors.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, we appreciate your assistance.

The up-coming goal of the McGriff CD&SC: is to be a liaison between area businesses and educational opportunities by:
-
Administering certification programs that will provide employment and an avenue for higher education to members of the community who may find access difficult if not impossible.
-
Provide training to empower parents to help their children reach their full potential.
