| Habitat for Humanity turning empty classrooms at Eau Claire church into housing for homeless veterans | ||
Ken Notes: This is a great idea, Habitat has the skill set and the connections to get this done. Old schools, offices, older apartments, and other brick and mortar can create great living space. Access to health and mental health care and developing shared amenities and quality space is the perfect mix. Habitat will put the money into actual living space, rather than the bureaucracy and profit structure often associated with traditional "Affordable" housing... | ||
