A little encouragement was all
Alphonzo Brown needed to put his ambition to work, land a job in
the high-growth technology field and grow a small business. That
encouragement came in the form of a scholarship through the Louisville
Metro Housing Authority and help from staff members. When Alphonzo,
a former Clarksdale resident, expressed an interest in college, LMHA
staff guided him in the right direction. As a result of their guidance
and support, Alphonzo successfully completed his Associate Degree
from the RETS Institute of Technology. "The Housing Authority gave
me the tools I needed to grow," said Alphonzo. |
