Key Considerations and Risks

● Funding and Budget Constraints (Falana McDaniel): Regular review of project budget and secure funding sources from government, grants, or private partnerships.

● Supply Chain Issues: Plan for potential delays in materials or labor shortages, especially considering current market conditions.

● Regulatory and Environmental Compliance: Follow building codes, zoning laws, and environmental regulations.

● Community Support: Actively engage with the community to foster a positive environment for the new homeowners and integrate them successfully into the neighborhood.
