This video was originally an assignment I made for my college’s TV station. I wanted to explore the history of Friendship House, a unique, little-known piece of historical architecture in my home town, and tell the story of how it came to be at the college, while raising awareness of this one-of-a-kind landmark in my area.
Two main reasons contribute to why I would love to become a Housing Ambassador. To help get many prospective and current students excited and involved in campus housing is the first reason. So many people shoot down on campus housing because of the price; however, people do not realize housing is more than just a room you pay for. You live here, study here, and have fun here. There are many events, free stuff, and free food that residence halls and RSA provide for students. I want to be able to show students that off-campus students do not have the same experiences as on-campus students. The second reason I would like to become a Housing Ambassador is for the experience. Ultimately, I would like to become a dean or chancellor of a college in my golden years. Being an Housing Ambassador would provide me with life-long experiences that I could take into my future careers as a business leader, politician, and dean/ chancellor.
No-Kill Shelters are very different from Kill and Low-Kill Shelters. For example, Maddie’s Fund wrote that no-kill shelters save all healthy and treatable dogs and cats. They will even keep the animal until it gets adopted. Around 7.6 million dogs and cats are sent to an animal shelter every year. But only 4.9 animals are saved mostly by no-kill shelters. However, if the animal is unhealthy or untreatable, they will put it down. Also, they only take in animals that are adoptable. Pet360 stated, “They do not accept animals without appointments and have a very thorough screening process. Additionally, these shelters often will not accept animals over a certain age,
Residential electricians are trained professionals dealing with any type of electrical work that a home has. The broad nature of the amount of electrical work inside a modern home is also why mostly all electricians are licensed and were properly trained at the trade. The work typically goes in phases, and starts with the simple rough wiring of the entire house, and will eventually end as a finished product with lights, outlets, and everything else you see that is powered.
The social housing program will be a means tested program. Families with an annual household income of $30,000 or less will be eligible for affordable housing. This requirement is set for the possibility of reducing racial inequality since Hispanics and African-Americans are disproportionately ranked the poorest in the United States (Halfmann 2017). I also aim to narrow the gap of these racial disparities by proposing that these new apartments and houses be as eco-friendly as possible. This can be achieved by installing solar panels and energy efficient appliances. These adjustments will lower utility costs tremendously for the household while simultaneously reducing the transmission of greenhouse gases
In some universities, the sharing of rooms between female and male is allowed. DSU housing should allow men and women to be roommates. First, there is some women and men that get along better than they would with the same-sex. For example, women tend to have more problems and drama with other women. When two or more women are placed in one house without knowing each other there is going to be misunderstandings. Also, in some situations two siblings, a brother and sister get along really well. Let’s say they have always lived together so being able to room together in college would be perfect for them. Second, some woman like having a male figure around just like a male might like having a female figure around. For instance, having a male figure
If your home resides in a Homeowners Association or HOA, it can provide great benefits to you and help increase your home’s value. The HOA may provide community amenities, such as pools, recreation or workout facilities and event or gathering space. Moreover, the HOA likely has rules and regulations that govern the appearance of homes within your community. These regulations help to protect home values throughout the community.

I learned two things when I volunteered for the second time on 12/11/2016 at Habitat for Humanity in Silver Spring. First, I found out that government orders prisoner to volunteer their community instead of staying in jail. There were two gentlemen, 33 and 36 years old, from DC Jail. They told me the government ordered them to volunteer 20 hours instead of being in jail for 1 year. The U.S government uses a good way: ordering criminals to volunteer because prisoners can have experience while they are in penalty. Second, I learned that there are Americans who do not read or write English while they live in the U.S.A. The two gentlemen did not read English well. I was surprised because I never imagined there were Americans who do not read or

Are Tiny Houses a key to Nantucket's housing shortfall? Many believe tiny houses are the solution to Nantucket's shortage of homes. While the opponents would suggest tiny homes will make Nantucket look like a trailer park. Though that may not be the case, a few modifications onto the house and it could look like a cottage. The best solution for this crisis are tiny houses because they provide a home that anyone can build and because of not having a mortgage and the mobility it provides. .
