Chris Krehmeyer, President and CEO of Beyond Housing, joins Megan Lynch.

The first-of-its-kind department is designed to address poverty more effectively to bring more St. Louisans into the economic mainstream.

The City of Pagedale struggled with underdevelopment and underinvestment for decades which led to higher crime rates and poor health outcomes. In 2010 the North County municipality welcomed its first grocery store in over forty years, Save-A-Lot, after years of working with city and community leaders as well as Beyond Housing. In the 11 years after Save-A-Lot opened, Pagedale saw a dip in crime and an uptick in property values. So when the discount grocery chain closed, it was a cause of worry that the progress made would be lost. Soon locally owned Fields Foods will move in and Beyond Housing's CEO Chris Krehmeyer hopes to make the transition smooth for business and the people of Pagedale.
