Beginning in the January semester, 10 students sponsored by the Ecumenical Campus Ministry at Washington University will be working for college credit in our neighborhood, particularly in the field of housing and real estate. The young people will locate and make available records of ownership of local property and bring up to date the Council cross file on real estate activity in the neighborhood, both of which are valuable tools in determining trends in local property movement.
The students will also assist SDCC Housing Committee and the three supporting churches in improving upkeep of deteriorating properties; and will become familiar with those city agencies dealing with housing. Eventually it is hoped that programs such as these will lead to improved quality in the housing of the many students who live in the neighborhood.
