Housing ![]()
We currently have various housing projects underway at the North Gulfport Community Land Trust. The first, at 2806 Monroe is the first clt home to be sold in the state of Mississippi. This beautiful home, originally constructed in 1925 was donated to the Land Trust and was moved 7 miles to its new location. The home was beautifully restored with funding from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, the Ms. Foundation for Women and others, and will soon be sold to a low-income family.
North Gulfport Community Youth Council
The Youth Council is composed of 25 youth from North Gulfport aged 13-20 and is designed to involve its members in the improvement of their neighborhood.This group came together in order to help further the community revitalization begun by the North Gulfport Community Landtrust(NGCLT). The primary outcome is help youth become dedicated to public service and uplift their community.We are proud to say each and every one of our memebers is aware that, in order to truly improve the world around us, change must come from within as well as through other forms such as policy, education, community involvement, housing, the arts, relationships with other philanthropic organizations, and public service. It is because of this belief that we choose to work closely with the NGCLT and other organizations in an effort to address the problem in our community from every possible angle.
The Youth Council members are responsible for planning, expenditure of funds, and decision-making regarding which projects to undertake. We determine our own courses of action for each project from enviornmental degradation to relationship building. We are assisted in our ventures by Veronica Mulazeem, the NGCLT's Community Outreach Coordinator.
Youth Council Projects
Community Arts
The youth Council started a community arts program and painted Murrals on one of the structures that has been donated to the Land Trust. The building use to be a changing room for the swimming pool that was built by the Mennonites back is a time when Blacks were not allowed to swim in public beaches and pools. After the Mural project was so successful the Youth Council began to have Community arts festivals every 2nd Saturday of each month. The festivals has been held at different churches throughout the North Gulfport Community. The Arts festivals consists of painting bisque, making jewelry with beads, building things with popsicle sticks to drawing and coloring. The kids can take home what ever project they create.
