Founded in 1969, Ironbound Community Corporation’s (ICC’s) mission is to engage and empower individuals, families, and groups in realizing their aspirations and, together, work to create a just, vibrant and sustainable community.
We envision a safe, healthy, just, and nurturing Ironbound; a welcoming and fully inclusive community that supports equal and accessible opportunity and the quest for a better life. For us, revitalization means uplifting both people and place. Therefore, we aim to lead the transformation of Ironbound into a neighborhood where anyone might choose to live and current residents can remain in their homes and their community without fear of being displaced.
ICC’s many programs aim to:
Address unmet needs and service gaps, particularly for under-served individuals and families
Support child development and strengthen families
Develop self-esteem, self-sufficiency and civic participation
Support the development of a just, tolerant, healthy and sustainable community
Deliver programs in culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate manners
