About us
Better Life Community Development Corporation was founded by Cornell G. Harris in 2021 with a heartfelt mission: to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals in our communities. We are dedicated to breaking down barriers that prevent people from achieving their goals and fulfilling their true potential.
In response to the needs they observed in their community, Cornell and Janice established Better Life Community Development Corporation. Their journey began with a commitment to provide personalized support through one-on-one mentorship, scholarships, and advocacy for individuals with mental challenges. With a vision rooted in compassion and empowerment, they set out to create a space where everyone can thrive.
Cornell and Janice Harris are not only the founders but also active advocates in the community. Years of volunteering their services in nursing homes, churches, and school study groups they have dedicated their lives to inspiring, encouraging, and uplifting those in need. Their passion for service drives everything they do at Better Life Community Development Corporation.
