Memphis, Tennessee, has experienced a lot of problems, but one man is determined to see things change for the better.
“With the help of some amazing folks, we’re legit trying to scoop up every single vacant house on this block, rehabilitate them, and then use them to house vets, trafficking survivors, single moms, and any number of other folks going through various recovery programs we work with,” he continued.Owen is grateful to be serving others, saying the work is what keeps him sober.
MAJOR UPDATE: #buybacktheblock just closed on the first house in Memphis! Broken folks who have found a better way leaving dope and violence behind to walk others out of hell and give them the tools to live a better life is what this is all about.This house will most likely house single mothers in the Veteran's Court program here in Shelby County to make sure these brave women can keep a stable roof overhead while they turn their fortunes around.
“Make the street I called Hell a place I’d be ok to call home. Sounds crazy. Probably is. But…watch us,” his post read.
