Nehemiah Group
The Chicago Eco House is a systemic solution that transforms vacant lots into sustainable urban flower farms, turning blight into economic opportunities for majority-Black inner-city communities. Local youth are trained as flower artisans and farmers through our K-8 and Workforce Development Programs. By 2022, we will have 9 acres of flower farms (compared to 1 in 2020). With the support of the Catalyzing Neighborhood Investment Program, we will build and refine our infrastructure in 2022 to meet the overall program objectives of workforce development, trauma remediation, redistributing wealth from the $35 billion flower industry into the inner-city, and enhancing downstream industries (local small business owners).
