Dallas Escorts: UD volunteers help low income families build a home
During Dinner and Discourse on Feb. 2, Campus Ministry brought a group to campus which works to help rebuild communities such as this. The Building Communities Workshop is one of the few programs designed to help these types of communities build better lives. The BCW was started by an architect named Brent Brown. “He wanted to make sure that everyone had environmentally friendly housing,” said Luis Gonzales, community liaison for BCW.
“Dolphin Heights has struggled with high rates of crime and prostitution,” said Gonzales. Now that the times are getting better, these residents are in need of better houses and a better education. The BCW program relies solely on donations and grants from the government. The people involved in the program design, build and provide education for these low income families. These houses are made so that families can afford and continue living in them. Since those bad times, the crime rates have gone down by double digits. “God willing, we will start building by the end of February,” Gonzales said.
