MINORITY COMMUNITY INVESTMENT COALITION

is dedicated to helping Erie grow, shine, and thrive. Officially formed in 2016, the Booker T. Washington Center, Martin Luther King, Jr. Center, and Urban Erie Community Development Corporation (UECDC) work together to build equity for a change and improve the life chances for Erie families living in poverty. MCIC coordinates a variety of services to low-income residents, reaching over 20,000 people annually - approximately 20% of the City of Erie's population - in West Bayfront, Center City, and East Erie. MCIC is focused on outreach, collaboration, and coordinating through neighborhood-based, culturally-responsive programs and services that move the needle on community and economic development.
