Affton Community Partnership (ACP): In 2005 the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL) was awarded a Community Outreach Partnership Center grant. This two-year grant of nearly $200,000 assisted the University in developing a community-building partnership in Affton, working in cooperation with the Affton Community Betterment Association, the Affton Chamber, the Affton and Bayless School Districts, St. Louis County Government, and a variety of other community partners. There have been wonderful accomplishments during the two years.
The ACP focused resources of UMSL to develop projects in the following areas: Welcoming New Americans to the Affton Community, developing a New Americans Task Force, creating an outreach and engagement strategy designed to recruit and facilitate community involvement of New Americans, and providing seminars and technical assistance services for government officials, police officers, business owners, and school district personnel. Supporting Affton's Older Residents, created a community stakeholder's committee, conducted a housing needs assessment of the community's older population, and developed a set of strategies to better link the housing environment with the abilities and needs of older residents. Building Capacity to Bring About Change, helped the volunteer-based ACBA to develop a strategic plan and better focus resources, and develop partnerships that will strengthen and sustain the community.
Affton Community Betterment Association (ACBA) was formed in 1998 to work with residents for the betterment of the Affton Community. The non-profit organization disbanded in 2009 due to a lack of funding.
