I started my commitment to housing justice for people and communities with low incomes in 1975 in Austin's Clarksville community. These years of working side-by-side with dedicated community leaders to find solutions to housing and community development challenges have taught me some things and I’m learning new things every day.

  1. I understand these are already being used in the Port Arthur area by a shipyard for its workers. I don’t think they have a kitchen area, or are painted so pretty (kinda look more like the picture on the left).

  2. Cool I want one, since I’m homeless anyway this would be a tremendous step up, where do I sign up is there a long waiting list ?
