Pair Dollar House with trade training

- — Larry Williams, Towson

Could the Dollar House program be integrated with a training program for constructi­on trades (“Baltimore City Council session on proposed Dollar House revival devolves into heated verbal sparring as supporters pack City Hall,” April 26)? Could this help the need to provide employment opportunit­ies to underserve­d communitie­s and provide low-cost repairs and improvemen­ts to distressed properties? I have no experience with government program developmen­t nor with public funding of social programs, but is there an opportunit­y here to address two issues by combining training and housing programs? Just asking for a friend.
