Patricia "Pat" Jackson - On maintaining family homes (clip)
Interviewed by Kathryn Wall on September 26, 2023
Kathryn Wall (KW): I’m sure it varied some, but when some of these older generation that had become homeowners and had been able to have the financial stability to support the church, I know when we look at the housing in this area one of the issues is trying to retain homeownership, when folks would pass in the 70’s, was it common for a family member to take over their home and, you know, stay there, or did a lot of people sell their houses?
Pat Jackson (PJ): It was common for family to take over and maintain the house. Yeah, not so much you know, definitely staying within the family unit, and I don't think that that was pretty uncommon because a lot of families had multiple siblings within the family, so somebody was always there to step in.
