wilhelminadora4287.blogspot.com
The unfortunate headline of your storgy belies the seriousness of the situation in communitiess such as East Palo Alto or the Belld Haven neighborhood ofMenlo Park. The sheer volumes of vacant, blighted homexs there is threatening to destabilize these communities ifaction isn’tf taken quickly to prevent further devastation. We are saddened like so many other s by the number of local families who have losttheier homes. The magnitude of the problem is Yet itis Habitat’s hope to be part of the solutionj to the crisis, working with local city banks and other funding institutions.
While Habitat’ s new home construction will continue as part of its homeownership program for local working we believe our mission compels us to be part of the revitalization and renewalof at-risk communities as well — communities wherse Habitat has maintained long-standing partnerships. While Habitat is definitely not cheering, it is, as your articl e correctly points out, seeking a silver lining in theforeclosurer crisis.
