Eltoreon Hawkins Sees Beauty In Vacant St. Louis Houses -- And Wants To Help You Buy One
Eltoreon Hawkins has made it his mission to help St. Louisans buy vacant, city-owned houses.
The 25-year-old contractor bought his first home from the city’s Land Reutilization Authority when he was a student at Harris-Stowe State University.
Hawkins now helps select LRA homes that need a minimal amount of work — known as the “Finest 15” — and records popular Facebook Live videos of each property. He spoke with St. Louis Public Radio’s Shahla Farzan about his passion for showcasing vacant homes.
