A) Past:
In 1889 Jane Addams founded Hull House: the first settlement house to exist in the United States. This all purpose
community center helped the poor that lived in Chicago, Illinois (www.fastrackteaching.com).

B) Present: On May 18, 2009, Rechanging Lives, Inc. was established after its President/Founder Yolanda Johnson survived a long family
history of incarceration. For instance, her youngest brother was given two life sentences. Also, one of her nieces is
currently serving twenty years in prison. July 16, 2011 marked the day Rechanging Lives, Inc. received tax exemption.

On 4408 S. 2nd Avenue Dallas, TX 75210 is the old Lee G. Bilal building. It formerly was a community center for Ethiopian Muslims.
Back in 1925, it was the original Lagow School House. However in 1926 when the Lagow School District was annexed, The Lagow family
donated it to the City of Dallas. Yet, when Realtor Thomas Mitchell appealed to the City of Dallas in 1959 for the former hosiery mill (1931) to serve as a “Negro Dance Hall”, they rejected the idea
(www.dallashistory.org). At this time, Rechanging Lives, Inc. wants the building so that we can turn it into a Christian Charter School.
Not only will it be a Christian Charter School but the rest of the block where the building is located will be used as a community center to
offer job training and other community resources to allow the community of South Dallas to become self-sufficient. Also, we will
have our RCL Café Experience restaurant to offer healthy food choices to the community. All along the property located at 4408 S. Second Ave. Dallas, TX 75210 was meant to be used for uplifting the
community.

Based on the results, the number of participants for open gym is declining. Therefore, other amenities must be in place for youth not to engage in delinquency. In
order to fulfill this goal, funding has to be in place.

According to research, “[The] strengths-based practice requires an accounting of what people know,
what they can do, what they want, and how they have managed to survive, given their circumstances. Practitioners must discover, name, and help employ the resources within and around the individual or
collectivity (Saleebey, 1992; Sullivan & Rapp, 1994; Weick, Rapp, Sullivan, & Kisthardt, 1989).”
Anticipated statistical and data analyses will show a decline in the rate of juvenile delinquency by 25%
within the first year of our program implementation of the strengths-based perspective.
