Located atop the hill in the heart of Cayce Place, Martha O’Bryan’s Family Success Network serves as inclusive third space within the community where individuals of all ages, races, and backgrounds can gather to learn, play, and grow together.
Most neighborhoods are segregated by race and class. As our community transforms, nurturing relationships among diverse residents is crucial to cultivate a thriving and lively community.
Martha O’Bryan is in the largest public housing redevelopments in the country. Co-developed through community voice and input, Cayce Place is growing from 900 public housing units to 2,700 brand new mixed-income units with a commitment to no resident displacement and increasing the number of available public housing units.
As our neighborhood transforms, our mission is to cultivate a nurturing space that fosters trust and connectivity amongst new and original residents. We aspire for every community member to see our space as a community asset and resource.
We offer a wide range of inclusive and engaging community-building activities, spanning arts, music, fitness, recreation, shared meals, and peer-to-peer programs. Our goal is to deepen connections among neighbors, leveraging existing strengths and fortifying local support networks.
For those seeking spiritual enrichment, our Community Chaplain provides diverse programming informed by conversations with community members and input from residents. From weekly bible studies to our Safe Space men’s ministry and courage camps for youth, we offer a range of opportunities for personal growth and communal engagement.
Since launching the Family Success Network, more than 1,700 community members have participated in our workshops, events, and recreational programming.
As the people partner in Envision Cayce, we helped facilitate more than 50 community meetings, giving residents decision-making agency in the community revitalization process.
MOBC raised more than $16 million and built both Explore Community School and the Family Success Network Community Facility based on community requests, feedback, and vision.
