Clerestory
Clerestory Inc. (formerly Milo Group Inc.) is a Christian 501(c)(3) non-profit economic development organization founded in 2011 by attorney Greg Mixon.
Originally the Milo Group worked to provide mentorship for individuals rebuilding their lives after experiencing disasters. It later transitioned its focus toward addressing communities of poverty. Clerestory provides financial literacy and job preparedness programs developed with Jobs For Life of Raleigh, North Carolina and the Chalmers Center of Lookout Mountain, Georgia; and contracts with Cardinal Counseling for professional services to participants. The organization is also partnering with James Harris' Harvest Community Charities to develop a minority-owned grocery store chain to address food deserts.
Clerestory purchased and renovated a house in Grasselli Heights as transitional housing for homeless veterans, and worked with Urban Hope Community Church and its founding pastor Alton Hardy to acquire a vacant building in Fairfield as a worship center and coffee shop. In 2024 it was involved in developing the Carver Jones Market in Fairfield.
The organization's offices are located in Building 44 of Inverness Center North.
