What is the plan for the WeBUILT DFW living community?

• We are searching for a property for WeBUILT DFW to purchase for use as a community gathering place or “hub”
• It is critical that we find a location close to jobs, necessities, and transportation
• Opportunities for WeBUILT Friends to either purchase or rent their own living space in the same location as the “hub”
• Currently fundraising for a 50% down payment for the “hub” location
