Sims Street: A house (above left) at 669 Sims Street in St. Paul, renovated through a home ownership program seeded by Living Cities funds. Another house (right) across the street which recently fell into foreclosure and abandonment, one of several such structures that now blight a block that had been coming back. The current mortgage foreclosure crisis threatens to undermine much of the progress by Living Cities and its intermediaries. (Photos by Martin Merzer for Knight Foundation)
