Reinvest Into Hi-Crest!
Step-by-step and home-by-home, SENT is knitting together government, private, and nonprofit partners to reinvest in Hi-Crest. Our hope is for Hi-Crest to become a neighborhood of choice in Shawnee County. One of SENT's distinct branches is Business Development & Housing. Our goal is to transform, through rehab and new build housing, 15% of Hi crest homes over the next 25 years, which comes out to a little over 300 homes. We'd love to partner with you! Your partnership will help SENT keep costs down on these homes while still providing quality housing. Volunteers are crucial to us getting these projects done.
Project-
This volunteer opportunity will consist of clearing out brush, leaves, and trash out of some of SENT's properties.

Additional Info:
