The Glendale Ave and Mangum Court Subdivisions
One of the most depressed communities in Durham became our focus five or six years ago. UDI-CDC decided to change the environment of an entire community - North East Central Durham. Activities began with the rehabilitation of nine houses, in partnership with the City of Durham. It progressed to the construction of 9 additional homes that virtually restored an entire block. UDI/CDC next moved a block further north and completed a housing project (except two townhouses) that was aborted by another non-profit. Now eleven families are first time homeowners.
