How faith drives former NBA star Alonzo Mourning’s goodwill
The Hall of Famer has developed affordable housing for families and senior citizens in Florida and Texas
When asked why he’s dedicated this stage of his life to building affordable homes for families and senior citizens, Hall of Fame basketball player Alonzo Mourning had a simple response.
It’s not just because of the money, nor is it only about being the right thing to do.
As a man of faith, Mourning believes we’re all created by a god whose qualities we all can inherit. Loving your neighbor as yourself is what Christians are taught, which takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to housing shortages and homelessness, both of which are endemic to American society.
So, after a 15-year NBA career with the Charlotte Hornets, New Jersey Nets and Miami Heat, during which he won a championship in 2006 with the Heat, Mourning pivoted full time into philanthropy after retiring in 2008.
Over the past decade, he’s moved into housing development. In May, his latest development—a $37 million affordable senior apartment in Bradenton, Florida—was completed. The five-story, 120-unit building will cost its residents as low as $322 a month.
