After years away, Cassandra Henderson has made her way back to Yanceyville, North Carolina, settling into the revitalized Dillard School Apartments. Originally a school from 1949 until 2002, this historical building has now been transformed into 53 affordable housing units for seniors, tackling the local housing crisis. This renovation not only honors the past but also strengthens community ties by providing necessary living spaces.
