About Us
Our Mission & Vision
Blueprint 15’s mission is to work with current neighborhood residents, community partners, and local leaders to transform the historic 15th Ward neighborhood. We believe it is a requirement that every person has the opportunity to achieve their highest potential through education, economic inclusion, and wellness.
Our vision is a diverse, mixed-income neighborhood that is safe, vibrant, and well connected with sustainable pathways to build generational wealth. Our community will consist of excellent neighborhood schools, health and wellness programs, and economic development opportunities for current residents of all ages.
