@knoxnews: Knoxville is racing to approve luxury apartments and massive subdivisions in preparation for the city's anticipated population growth. But where will the people who already live here buy homes? Local nonprofit Renaissance Creations has been helping answer that question since 2019 with a neighborhood-centered solution, purchasing blighted homes in north and east Knoxville and completing renovations before selling them at a tremendously reduced price to residents who already live in the area. "We're not here to flip a house and get out," Executive Director Scott Branson told Knox News. "We want to actually build community."

we need affordable housing y'all. not resale. as someone who was homeless, the ones who really need it still can't afford your "reduced" prices.

I’ve always wondered what the building is. It’s right down the road from my mom’s house. That’s truly amazing of them to do 🥰

This is not helping ! It’s not even realistic! They will end up with empty houses and no one can afford them! It’s not based in reality and it’s a new nonprofit looking to make money on the back of poor people
