When teachers & school support staff can afford to live in the communities where they teach, they can better understand and serve the students in their classrooms. This is why we partnered with @ReconnectMcD to build educator housing in WV. @AFTWV https://t.co/6um90y7Ddx

McDowell Cty doesn't need pity. It needs economic development & innovative thinking about job creation for people who have been waiting a long time for others to believe in them. @ReconnectMcD believes in the county's future.

Nadia Johnson, our Broader Horizons alum, aptly stated at Renaissance Village's ribbon-cutting: "I am thankful for the vision that led to this building being built. I am even more thankful for the goal that was reached, for that there were no broken promises along the way."
