ABC13 visited Mary Banks' Third Ward home, where she has lived for over 40 years. Rebuilding Together Houston is helping ensure she can continue living in the neighborhood she loves.
A Houston organization is giving back to the community by helping low-income seniors repair their aging homes.
Her husband, Honorary Mayor Ed Banks, was known by many in the neighborhood as a man who advocated for his community. "As the occupants became older, their finances became more meager," Councilmember Carolyn Evans-Shabazz said. "They were not able to keep up their homes in the manner they did."However, Rebuilding Together Houston hopes to solve the problem.
At the Banks' home, a new roof, electrical repairs and new paint will allow Mary to continue living in the neighborhood she loves, which her husband gave so much to.
