A house for the Northern Cheyenne Tribal Housing Authority, built by HOPE VI funding and lots of volunteers!
The Edward Kennedy Serve America Act has been passed by the house and will be signed into law as soon as President Obama returns from the G20 summit!
For those of you who aren't familiar with it, the new service bill will (among other things) increase the number of Americorps volunteers from 75,000 to 250,000 over the next eight years.
It also will increase support for social entrepreneurialism. For those of you with short attention spans like me, here is a link of the highlights.
