Background
Re:Vision (formerly known as Revision International) is a non-profit based in the Westwood neighborhood whose mission is to work with people in marginalized neighborhoods to develop leaders, cultivate community food systems, and grow resilient local economies.
This project provides $1,200,000 of CDBG funds for the acquisition and related soft costs associated with the creation of the Westwood Food Hub through the purchase of 3738 Morrison Road.
Since 2009 Re:Vision has empowered families to plant organic vegetable gardens in their backyards through a community-based model. The project started five years ago with seven families growing to 300 families this year. In 2014 Westwood, 35% of the population lives below the poverty line, compared to 15% of families in the Denver overall. Over 95 % of children in the neighborhood were eligible for free- or reduced-price lunch at the time of the project.
At the time of the original contract, the Westwood food HUB - the first of its kind in a Denver food desert neighborhood- will aggregate, process, market and distribute food by the 300+ urban farmers Revision already supports.
This is a performance-based loan is secured by a Deed of Trust on the property and will be forgiven after the term of the loan (25 years) so long as the community facility stays in place for those 25 years.
