Affordable housing is one of the pressing issues for life on the Eastern Shore. Taking the issue head-on, Ava Wise and Legacy Project have made available six new affordable homes in Exmore’s New Road Community, an historic African American enclave with a legacy of innovation for creating grass-roots solutions and new business models for affordable housing.
The six attractive single-family homes, now ready for occupancy for their new owners, provide a model for affordable housing solutions on the ESVA and usher in a new era of revitalization for the historic African American enclave known as New Road.
· Two tiny homes
· Two 2-bedroom homes
· One 3-bedroom home
· One 4-bedroom home.
Focused on taking the community forward into the future in housing development, the six newly constructed home feature modern amenities and offer a range of sizes to accommodate families with differing housing requirements.
The initiative is being spearheaded by Ava Wise, CEO & President, US Sustainable Development and the Executive Director of New Road Community Development Group and a longtime advocate for accessible home ownership.
“Our focus is on creating vibrant communities and new pathways to home ownership,” says Ms. Wise. “Quality, affordable housing is critical for breaking cycles of poverty and for bolstering economic stability, growth and security as well as for helping retain and attract young professionals, families, teachers, skilled workers and others who have difficulty finding a home that fits their income.”
Scotiagirl may have misinterpreted this post…but, are these homes intended only for black people? Why would that be?
Because white folks don’t live in that community, willingly.
Oh, Scotia and others, open your heart.
Mr. Creed, will you “out” me again.
Note: You always do a very good job of that yourself. You seem to have a preternatural ability to defeat my best efforts of keeping you out of things.
Zounds!
Over and out
You are not right, are you? A few bricks shy of a load? A real mental-midget. You only reply when colored, negro, or black appear in the context. Let me take you to school today…
Racism (racist) is an attitude that takes place in one’s head.
Discrimination is an overt act that takes place in the real world.
Think about it, the next time you call someone a Racist that has no way to discriminate against anyone.
Stay Hydrated!
Oh, dear, Stuart Bell.
Madam X hopes you will see the truth someday
I have asked you several times to explain yourself. So here is another chance.
Lay some ‘Real Talk’ on me….and I will wrap you up in ‘Real Facts’.
Why are you two( a madam and a scotia) referring to yourselves in third person? Typically, the use of the third person by individuals themselves, called illeism, is associated with egocentrics.
Scotiagirl thanks you for noticing…yes, she is egocentric and wonders why you, of all people, would have a problem with that!
African-American? GTFOH! Those folks are so American, that 98% of them could not point to the place on a map of Africa that their ancestors came from if given 15 minutes and $15,000.00 to be right about it.
Does the one they called Squirrel still sell dime bags like he did in the early eighties?
