City, Nonprofit Team up to Reclaim Former Crack Houses as Affordable Apartments
(AJC) — Kashira Martin always wanted a porch.
She didn’t have one when she lived in Bankhead Courts, formerly one of Atlanta’s most notorious housing projects. Nor did she have one at her former apartment, where she would have welcomed a porch to get away from the mold inside.
Now, she can sit for hours on the porch at her new apartment on Boulevard that used to be a burned out drug house. From her porch, Martin can watch her kids play across the street in the park.
