MANOF- Social Urban Renewal

MANOF – the Social Urban Renewal Organization (formerly, Jindas) is a nonprofit real-estate developer. Our mission is to help families in Israel break out of poverty and create opportunities for social mobility, through processes of social urban renewal in peripheral areas. MANOF operates in neighborhoods ranked 1–3 on the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics’ socio-economic index, characterized by low land values that do not generate market conditions for conventional urban renewal. We commit to each neighborhood over a 10–15 year horizon, with the goal of creating deep, long-term change across three interconnected layers: the organization initiates and advances the renewal of residential buildings through urban-renewal and evacuation-and-rebuild projects, incorporating affordable housing; in parallel, a local neighborhood task force is established in each area, developing a targeted social program that provides individual and community-based support for residents. Finally, we promote the renewal and upgrading of public spaces and public facilities. The organization specializes in creating innovative financing models that combine philanthropy, impact investments, government grants, and private capital.
