This particular project is located in Bon Weir. The new house is being built in front of the existing home that is really unlivable due to Rita damage. The project materials are being funded by DETCOG, MDS and Self Help Housing of East Texas. This project is being done by the MDS group at the East Texas Baptist Encampment.
