To cultivate sustainable growth and enhance quality of life for residents of Historic Miles Heights Village. Through strategic partnerships, innovative programs, and community-driven initiatives, we aim to create opportunities for economic, social, and cultural enrichment.
We envision a thriving, connected, inclusive, and sustainable community where every resident has access to quality housing, viable economic opportunities, and adequate resources to achieve their fullest potential.
The historic neighborhood of Miles Heights Village has long been a cultural hub, known for its rich history and resilient sense of community. For generations, lack of equitable investment in Cleveland's southeast side neighborhood has led to economic challenges and a gradual decline in aesthetic appeal and vibrancy. Friends of The Village enables residents to collaborate with an aim to rebrand the neighborhood via community-driven beautification initiatives in use of public spaces to reflect the rich cultural heritage of the area. The collective serves as a catalyst for economic revitalization, and cultural pride, providing a transformative experience for the community while preserving its unique history.
Public meetings held at 6:30pm on the fourth Monday of each month at Canaan Missionary Baptist Church, located at 4688 E. 162nd St, Cleveland, OH 44128. Membership dues are only $15 annually. Please ask and accompany your neighbors to attend. We want to keep our organization strong, our community members informed and their collective voices to be heard.
