Beyond Housing was established in 1980 to address the need for affordable rental housing for large, low-income families in the St. Louis region. In 2003, we recognized that we shared similar philosophies, approaches and target audiences with Neighborhood Housing Services of St. Louis. In January 2003, the two organizations merged under the name that encompassed both organizations’ former missions: Beyond Housing.
Our Mission
Our mission is to strengthen neighborhoods, one family at a time. We do this by providing affordable housing and homeownership services; providing support services to families, children and seniors; being a catalyst for community-wide rebuilding efforts; empowering residents to be leaders of their own neighborhood revitalization efforts; and promoting individual and community asset building.
NeighborWorks® Network
Beyond Housing is a member of the NeighborWorks® Network, a national network of community-based organizations that improves and strengthens communities through cooperative efforts with residents, business people, government officials, and other partners.
Recognition and Awards
We have been recognized on a local, national, and international level for our unique and successful approach to meeting the needs of low-income families. Awards have been presented by the United Nations, Metropolitan Life Foundation, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials, Mortgage Bankers Association, Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan, Missouri Bar Association, FOCUS St. Louis, East-West Gateway Coordinating Council, and the Ethical Society.
