OUR HISTORY

The Empowerment Community was founded in August 2015 by Stanley & Christie Cofer. Stanley & Christie were pastoring a church in Tyler, TX. and he states that he felt compelled by the Holy Spirit to come from behind the pulpit and the four walls of the church setting to engaged the community. He sensed God telling him that through this path he would find more success in effecting the community at large than he would in a church setting. The Empowerment CDC has and is having a great effect in bringing diversity of people together for the common good for all men.

Empowerment Neighborhood Development Services (ENDS)

1. Our goal is to conduct Community development activities to build stronger and more resilient communities through an ongoing process of identifying and addressing needs, assets, and priority investments. Our activities may support infrastructure, economic development projects, installation of public facilities, community centers, housing rehabilitation, public services, clearance/acquisition, microenterprise assistance, code enforcement, homeowner assistance and many other identified needs.  

We will also encourage & motivate community members to come together to take collective action and generate solutions to common problems. Our Community development efforts will range from small initiatives within a small group to large initiatives that involve the broader community.


2. Economic Development – We seek for the development of wealth and the well-being of low to moderate income communities. We will seek to improve the economic well-being and quality of life for a community by creating and/or retaining jobs and supporting or growing incomes and the tax base. We will also focus on the recruitment of business operations, assisting in the expansion or retention of business operations or assisting in the start-up of new businesses.


3. Affordable Housing – Our goal is to provide affordable housing through tiny/small homes with the price range under $100,000.
