Ground was broken Friday on three homes that will be built by a non-profit group called Homes of Hope. The homes will be built at 26th and Oliver, which was in the path of the May 22nd tornado. Crystal Wolfe, co-founder of Homes of Hope, tells News Talk KZRG about the project.
"We are building three, three-bedroom two-bath homes. They will go to people who lost their homes to the May tornado who are not homeowners. This will go to first-time home-buyers."
Wolfe says the homes could be finished by May. In all, Wolfe says Homes of Hope wants to build 20 homes in Joplin. You can apply for one of the homes at Homes of Hope Joplin dot org.
