Here are two great videos from South West Central Durham Quality of Life Initiative (SWCDQOL). They are doing great work helping revitalize the Burch Ave. Neighborhood, Lakewood Park, Lyon Park, Morehead Hill, Tuscaloosa-Lakewood, and the West End. The QOL Initiative is a partnership between the neighborhoods, Duke University, and Self-Help.
These videos are about the positive impacts of affordable home-ownership initiatives in the area. It’s interesting to hear about Habitat for Humanity’s building urban infill housing in these neighborhoods.
It’s great to see in this video that Duke entered this organization as a partner and asked the neighborhoods how they could help. I hope to post more about QOL, Duke’s involvement in revitalization, as well as Self-Help’s significant work in affordable housing.
