Housing increased awareness, access, and planning for the next 40 years to respond to both low income and first home buyers who are often priced out of the market.
I have lived in Jacksonville, Alabama, since 2001 when we moved to Alabama from Conway, Arkansas. Before moving to Conway to attend the University of Central Arkansas for college, I spent my formative years in rural Ohio. I could ride my bike from my County Road L home to the family farms of both my sets of grandparents. My days were filled with a beloved extended family, 10 years of 4H, a menagerie of animals, many books, and a different sport for each season. Regular chores, a great public school education, and odd jobs added the elements of responsibility and growing skill sets for life. My parents were employed in our small school district, my dad as a school administrator and mom as an elementary school teacher. I carry from my rural upbringing a sense of practicality, an appreciation of simple goodness, respect for hard work, a love of nature, and a sense of optimism for each new day.
