Our Partners
Great Community Impact
Our vision is to foster equitable access to quality neighborhoods and lifestyles. The Black Lamb Development Corporation (BLDC) transforms under-resourced communities into vibrant, desirable, engaged neighborhoods by improving access to health, education, employment, technology, economic development and affordable housing.
Our Vision
Safe Homes. Good Jobs. Healthy Communities.
Our initial target is Southeast Greensboro and includes some of the greatest concentrations of poverty in Guilford County. Our mission and vision will be implemented through the following long-term activities:
Housing Renovation & Rehabilitation
New Single-Family Homes
Vocational Skills & Education
Health & Human Service Initiatives
Access to Technology & Innovation
The Goal
Our Commitment to the Long Haul
We don’t believe lasting change happens overnight—or from the outside in. It happens when residents have stable homes, real pathways to income, and the resources to thrive where they already live. That’s why our work is built for the long haul: practical, people-centered, and rooted in community.
Everything we do is connected. Housing creates stability. Workforce development creates income. Health supports progress. Technology expands access. When these pillars work together, communities aren’t just improved—they’re transformed.

Housing
Renovation & Rehabilitation
We acquire vacant, abandoned, blighted, and foreclosed properties and restore them to modern living standards. Each renovation improves safety, curb appeal, and neighborhood confidence, while also reducing the negative ripple effects that long-term vacancy can create.
Rehab work helps preserve the character of existing neighborhoods while upgrading the housing stock for today’s families. Just as important, restored homes can help stabilize surrounding properties and encourage responsible investment throughout the community.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
Single-Family Homes
In areas where homes are beyond repair—or where new housing is needed—we develop new, affordable single-family homes built for real life. These homes are designed to be durable, efficient, and supportive of long-term stability.
New construction also supports neighborhood revitalization by adding quality inventory, increasing local momentum, and creating opportunities for families to remain in the community as it improves. Done thoughtfully, growth can mean stronger neighborhoods without displacement.
Workforce Development
Vocational Skills & Education
We provide hands-on training in job-ready areas—especially those connected to neighborhood improvement and economic mobility. Tracks may include construction skills, painting, estimating, post-construction clean-up, and technology/cabling installation, with additional opportunities as our programs expand.
Where possible, training connects to real projects, mentorship, and experience-building opportunities that help participants move from learning to earning. We want people to leave with more than knowledge—they should leave with momentum.
Health
Health & Human Service Initiatives
Our health initiatives focus on connection—helping reduce gaps between needs and services. That can include linking residents to trusted providers, supporting awareness and navigation, and strengthening community-based solutions that meet people where they are.
We aim to reduce barriers and increase continuity of care, because stability is built when people have consistent support systems and timely access to help.
TECHNOLOGY
Equal Access to Technology & Innovation
Our technology initiatives include opportunities like coding camps for youth, internet safety and privacy education for parents, and social media marketing/branding support for individuals and small businesses.
As the program grows, we aim to expand pathways into digital skills, innovation, and workforce readiness—helping residents not only use technology, but leverage it to create new opportunities and income streams.
