Success Story: 45 Townsend Street

Now a beautiful 3-family home owned by a young family, this structure was once filled with squatters and dangerous activity until WCHR responded to neighborhood pleas voiced by the Elm Park/PREP+ Neighborhood. WCHR secured the title, inherited by five families spread from Long Island to Kalamazoo, and completed a full “gut” rehab. One hundred neighbors and friends welcomed the new family to Elm Park at the Neighborhood Cookout Celebration.
