providing affordable housing as a mercy ministry

Cornerstone, a faith-based housing ministry

Safe, affordable housing is beyond the reach of many families in St. Louis without some help. Cornerstone provides help: low-rent apartments.

About Us

In 1976, the housing ministry Cornerstone was formed by members of an urban church to address a need for stable, low-income housing in the city.

Many families move many times a year. The resulting lifestyle is especially hard on the kids, who may have to keep switching schools. Our vision is for a housing ministry providing safe, stable, and affordable housing--a sheltered opportunity for individuals with jobs to live in one place for a while and establish good credit. Over the years, many of our tenants have been able to "graduate"--to move to their own homes.
