A new model for affordable housing in North Charleston? Charity Baptist Church may have it.
The limbs of several massive oaks shade the Rev. Nelson B. Rivers III as he walks through a vacant, rectangular lot on Mint Avenue.
A neighborhood dog walks up and licks Rivers’ crisp suit. Kids up the street play in their front yard. Rivers shoos the dog away, focuses his attention on the lot and talks about what could be.
At least two families could live here, he says. The piece of dirt is large enough for two small homes.
