The TRC Difference:

The Renaissance Collaborative, Inc (TRC) was incorporated and sponsored in 1992 by four ecumenical historic faith churches of Bronzeville: Quinn Chapel AME, St. Elizabeth Roman Catholic, St. Thomas Episcopal, and Apostolic Faith to save an historic landmark and serve "the least of these in our community.

The mission of TRC is to provide a comprehensive environment of affordable housing and supportive services that promotes economic self-sufficiency for its residents. The fulfillment of this mission was grounded in its first redevelopment, that of the former Wabash YMCA to the Renaissance Apartments & Fitness for Life Center. The experience of redeveloping the former YMCA, moved the agency from a volunteer organization to a full service professional agency; with the capacity to develop and manage both real estate and human capital.

Since opening its doors to serve in 2000, TRC has gained a reputation for excellence in supportive housing. Its years of services has allowed TRC to gain valuable insight into  how to establish and maintain a successful program.
