Video: Frazier Revitalization builds new home for South Dallas resident
On Sept. 16, Frazier Revitalization unveiled a new home built for South Dallas resident Eula Wilson.
Earlier this year, Dallas Free Press’ Jennie Trejo interviewed Wilson about her living conditions and her almost six-year, unsuccessful journey to qualify for the City of Dallas’ home repair programs.
After the story was published, the nonprofit Frazier Revitalization made a home assessment of Wilson’s home and determined it was unsafe.
Through the Frazier Healthy Homes program, they built Wilson a brand new home. Funders, friends and family gathered on Wednesday morning to celebrate a new beginning for Wilson.

Beat: Visual and multimedia approach to capturing community and civic life
The images of our communities that appear in local news media are mostly of crime and blight, which doesn’t at all reflect their beauty and assets. This visual journalist sees neighbors and captures community and civic life in all of its facets. The journalist is a multimedia reporter with a photographic eye, who has the skills to meld images, video and audio for storytelling, and the desire to reach under-covered audiences.
