#DesignTheHill is a community development initiative through which historic Hilltop residents reclaim physical, economic, civic and cultural space to abolish displacement, transform vacancy and waste into agency and opportunity, and redistribute power in community development and city planning.
In 2019 collaboration with THA and Mithun #DesignTheHill participants collaborated to design 250 units of affordable housing for our families in the heart of the MLK corridor. In 2020 this work grows as Hilltop community members prepare to transform the vacant Rite Aid site into a community cornerstone.
