In addition to the extensive interior work, renovations were also completed on the building's exterior, with in-kind donations from Paradigm Construction, which is erecting a high-rise across the street, and its chapel, as part of a local Boy Scout project.
The project received additonal assistance from Ricky Diggs, a resident student in GRM's Transforming Lives Ministry, who was responsible for day-to-day oversight of the project.
In its next project in the District of Columbia, the Home Builders Care Foundation will be instituting a collaborative job training program through the Home Builders Institute program at Potomac Job Corps. Students will receive hands-on training in construction skills working on-site with local home builders in the development of affordable housing units in the Southeast quadrant of the city.
