About MY CONNECT COMMUNITY

My Connect Community (MCC) is a place-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2016 that serves the densely populated Gulfton and Sharpstown neighborhoods of Southwest Houston. MCC organizes neighborhood-centered work across four pillars—housing, health and wellness, education, and economic vitality—to reduce intergenerational poverty and increase opportunity for newcomer and low-income families. MCC operates community programs including English language instruction, financial capability and workforce training, youth supports and school-based social-emotional services, mental health supports, and development of mixed-income housing and local enterprise. The organization publishes regular impact reporting and partners with local institutions and national networks to expand services and capital projects in its impact zone.
