Ripple Community Inc. Ripple Community Inc. Community and connection are essential for individuals, families, and neighborhoods to thrive. At Ripple Community Inc.

nurtures community and connection in Allentown by fostering a sense of community among our neighbors who have traditionally been marginalized and by cultivating connections across social boundaries. Social connection is considered a core psychological need, though it is one that is easily overlooked when we consider the complex—and often more visible—needs of people who are displaced, homeless, or living below the poverty line. (RCI), our mission is to meet this need for community and connection for Allentown residents. RCI serves Allentown residents who are socially and economically marginalized due to homelessness, social disconnection, isolating physical and mental health conditions, histories of trauma and abuse, and related difficulties. We address our communities’ needs with programs that facilitate true and lasting change in the lives of our participants. Through our core programs – the Community Building Center and RCI Village housing program – we provide housing, supportive services, and community and social connections for struggling residents of Allentown.

On Wednesday, we celebrated an exciting milestone with a housewarming at 814 Gordon Street! 🏡

814 Gordon is RCI’s first nonprofit-owned apartment building, providing six units of permanent, deeply affordable housing.
Housing is more than four walls and a roof, it’s a foundation for stability, opportunity, and belonging.

As Executive Director Sherri Brokopp Binder shared, “RCI is not motivated by owning buildings. We are not motivated by being a landlord. But we are motivated by wanting better for everybody.”
Better is possible when we come together as a community that cares for one another, welcomes new neighbors, and creates opportunities for everyone to belong.

We’re grateful to everyone who helped make this milestone possible, and we’re excited for the new chapter beginning at 814 Gordon. 💙
