Cities battling poverty, crime, racial tension, substance abuse and other critical issues are now facing the future with hope because of the life-changing impact of Community Renewal International. In neighborhoods where violence and fear once reigned, there is now safety and trust. Playgrounds are replacing battlegrounds. Former gang members and drug addicts are renewing their lives, returning to school and giving back to the community instead of taking from it. That is what happens when caring partners from all walks of life come together with one dream and one hope for one community. True community renewal changes the world - one neighbor at a time.

Songs of the Street are just a few of the uplifting stories of community renewal at work in all types of neighborhoods. They are "songs" of new hope and new beginnings. With the support of our caring partners, there will be many more!
