The community cheers, celebrating her achievement and the organization’s broader mission.
The episode underscores that Acts Housing’s model is scalable and transferable. Their belief that this bottom-up, supportive approach can succeed in hundreds of cities across the country could reshape narratives about urban renewal, poverty alleviation, and social mobility.
