Summary
This is a moving story about a group of homeless New Yorkers who set out to renovate an abandoned tenement building. Helped by Habitat for Humanity, including Jimmy Carter, we watch inexperienced people become proficient carpenters and tenant-owners. This group of ethnically diverse people overcomes bureaucracy, skepticism and lack of money to attain finally a decent affordable place to live. Filmed over a three-year period, it follows their struggle to turn a collective dream into a reality. Their saga can be a model for successful replicable restoration and community efforts.
