Masten Resource Center

Alphonso Rafi Greene, Jr. Masten Resource Center (MRC)

The MRC operates several unique programs that improve the lives of those who live and own businesses in the MLK District.

The Better Schools Better Neighborhoods (BSBN) Collaborative is comprised of businesses, institutions, faith-based organizations, block clubs, schools, property owners, and residents that live or work in the Martin Luther King, Jr. Park area. Its primary goal is to create a family-friendly neighborhood where everyone loves to live, work, and raise their families for generations.

The MRC Block Club Development program provides training sessions to community members who want to create their own local block clubs and neighborhood watch programs, along with computer literacy classes.

The Small Business Development Program helps build long-term success within our communities by providing small local businesses with case management, advocacy, guidance, and assistance with funding applications.
