The smell of fresh-baked cookies filled the air this afternoon as Texana Hollis, the 101-year old woman who was evicted last fall, finally returned to her home of sixty years. The house had received a complete makeover after the HUD had deemed the conditions unlivable. Made possible by the efforts of Mitch Albom and SAY Detroit, the improved including a new roof, new carpeting and tile floors, freshly-painted walls, new kitchen cabinets, new appliances, a new heating system, and a newly built wheelchair accessible porch ramp.
It turns out you can go home again.
