Abstract
Description
Cheltonya Banks had been living in Cleaborn Homes since 2009 and says that drugs and crime decreased during her time there. She liked her community, worked for Memphis HOPE over the summer, and was happy about the demolition. Memphis HOPE helped her through school, and MHA provided home repairs and security.
