((we were able to bring investment into the community, number one we were able to stabilize over 280 owners occupied houses for people mostly on a fixed income and we were able to work with them in terms of crime, drugs and prostitution you can't make it go away but we did decrease it-))

Young says through the use of stimulus money and a homeownership center there's even more opportunity to continue building and renovating single family homes. © Copyright 2012, WABE
