The Pyramid Community Development Corporation

Programs: The pyramid community development corporation's (pcdc) mission is to facilitate the revitalization, conservation and redevelopment of neighborhoods throughout houston and surrounding communities. In pursuit of this mission, pcdc provides for the delivery of public services, a neighborhood meeting facility, office space and affordable housing. Pcdc focuses on the development of jobs and a strong economy as a means of revitalizing the community. Toward this end, pcdc developed the power center, which currently provides for over 300 on site-jobs (does not include vendor services). Pcdc accounted for 49 employees. Pcdc employed 8 full-time employees, 41 part-time/contract employees. The houston career initiative (formerly known as kingdom builders career initiative, kbci), a comprehensive job-training program implemented and operated by pcdc. In 2005, kbci was restructured and renamed houston career initiative (hci). The new program offers career development, emotional, spiritual support, along with job leads to unemployed and underemployed individuals in the southwest houston community. The power center opened in the spring of 1996, serving the community by offering a women, infant and children (w. I. C. ) nutritional program, emergency assistance, a food pantry and support groups. Pcdc completed the jesse h. Jones conference center in the summer of 1996 to provide a meeting place for seminars, conferences, and banquets. In 2011, the conference center provided meeting space for patrons through banquet, corporate, and boardroom events, generating revenue close to 745,000. In 2011, we operated the power center kitchen on a daily basis, with the imani school feeding their 450 students two meals per day, plus an afternoon snack. The power center kitchen also supported the meetings, conferences and banquets scheduled at the jesse h. Jones conference center.
