New Series Starts this Issue
Before & After will showcase work of PCHTF Development Allocations
The PCHTF Board Room is filled with pictures of metro housing stock in various stages from abandonment through complete renovation. These picture boards are always a show stopper for new visitors. As a part of the PCHTF's eNewsletter's second year we will be offering a new series called "Before and After." These articles will explore the transformations funded by Trust Fund Development dollars. We will also be posting special Before and After albums on our Facebook Page. Enjoy watching projects progress and celebrate the end results.

Lance Henning has the Floor
Each month a PCHTF Board Member shares their commitment to Affordable Housing.
In 1961, President John F. Kennedy established the Peace Corps to promote world peace and friendship. I must confess at age 22 I joined the Peace Corps purely for the adventure of it - and it changed my life. I began my two years of service in Central America where something happened to me.
