2018 OSI Community Fellow Shelley Halstead was recently featured on the Tile Shop Blog as one of four “Inspiring Women in the Home Building and Design Industry.”
Halstead’s fellowship, “Black Women Build-Baltimore” seeks to provide home ownership opportunities for women of color by providing training to fix, repair, and renovate homes. Halstead and the program recently acquired a group of homes scheduled for demolition in the Druid Heights and Upton neighborhoods.
Read Halstead’s recent Baltimore Sun op-ed about the need for well-built, safe and affordable housing to break the cycle of poverty.
