Jim who was homeless himself for a number of years in his life, founded the Willis Dady shelter as a way to pay back all the people who help him on his road to recovery. Who knows maybe Jim is reaching down from heaven to keep the shelter top notch and to even serve more people. For if you knew Jim you would know that in life he Love God and trusted God to get the shelter up in running in the beginning, when he spoke to local Churches and ask for their support to start the Willis Dady Shelter.

Is this a plan of the City Father's to let this neighborhood fall into decay and knock down one house at a time when that house falls into decay? Is this just another form of discrimination against the poor and ethnic community who live in Wellington Heights? When you think of historical district such as wellington Heights, you think of beautiful homes and well maintain yards. An Area that is a source of price to the City and the citizens who live in the neighborhood Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:09:13 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/local-news/statewide-news/2009/09/12/night-and-day-davenport-landlords-police-residents-step-up-to-bring-back-a-troubled-neighborhood#IDComment34434226 http://oldgo.gazlab.com.php5-15.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/local-news/government/2009/08/08/section-8-maps-for-iowa-city-and-cedar-rapids#IDComment30183434 why is there section 8 housing in a historical neighborhood/// isn't Wellington Heights one of Cedar Rapids Historical areas?
