I work with the church <br /> and `466 Works.' They have a community development group that wanted money to build two <br /> (2) houses. The City was gracious enough to give the money to be able to build them. Then <br /> another church came to me wanting to build two (2) more houses and it seemed to me that doing <br /> two (2)houses at a time wouldn't get us where we need to go. So then I thought we should create <br /> a program called one-hundred (100) houses in five-hundred (5 00) days. This is a plan, it is not a <br /> formed project so we do not have any financial commitment. This is a dream at this point. We <br /> have a whole team of people working on it.
