Coalition for Urban Renewal Excellence

The Coalition for Urban Renewal Excellence‚ (CURE) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization and only one of a handful of organizations geared toward providing affordable housing in the greater Fresno area. With the population in Fresno County expected to double over the course of the next 30 years‚ the need for affordable housing will continue to grow as well. It is critical for communities to find ways to provide for their housing needs; particularly for families with low or moderate incomes. CURE is ready to meet those needs. CURE´s mission is to revitalize communities by providing decent‚ affordable housing.

The beginning of CURE can be traced back to a grassroots town hall meeting conducted March of 1999. Several concerned citizens presented the vision of CURE to builders and other community leaders. The crux of this vision included providing affordable housing while working to revitalize the surrounding neighborhoods. Because of the recognized need‚ $85‚000 was raised in interest free loans and one rehab home was donated to CURE that evening.

During the past few years‚ CURE has received ongoing financial support from the local building industry and many local businesses.  CURE has positioned itself to be a major player providing affordable housing for years to come.

These accomplishments distinguish CURE as an organization that is aggressive‚ compassionate‚ and ready to meet the housing needs in the greater Fresno area.
