We'll be rehabilitating two existing homes in Ypsilanti this year, and we can surely use your help! Starting on May 18, we will be working each Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday through June. In July, we will begin a three day work schedule of Thursdays - Saturdays until the work is completed in (hopefully!) August.
Will you join us?
