Habitat for Humanity, Foundation Recovery team up for STL housing

ST. LOUIS — Fenton-based Foundation Recovery Systems is joining forces with Habitat for Humanity today to help construct homes for a family in need in Old North St. Louis. Crews will focus on two homes currently under construction on the 1300 block of Monroe Street, not far from I-70.

Video from a similar Habitat project in University City last month shows crews working on an exterior wall. According to Habitat for Humanity, these two homes are part of 30 houses under construction across the area. Foundation Recovery Systems staff will assist Habitat workers today with general tasks to move the homes closer to completion.

Both houses are expected to be finished by early next year, and buyers are already lined up. Another Habitat home is also under construction nearby.

When Daniel Penny wrapped his arm around the neck of a homeless man on a Manhattan subway last year, the 25-year-old veteran appeared to be deploying a non-lethal chokehold long drilled into U.S. Marines.

Prosecutors allege that Penny "went way too far" in his attempt to restrain Neely, showing an "indifference" toward his life even after he had lost consciousness and stopped fighting back.

He admitted to stealing millions in public money for himself. He was dubbed "the most powerful man in southern Indiana," the prosecutor tells Inside Edition Digital's Deborah Hastings. "I do believe you are a sociopath," his former sister-in-law said. "I absolutely wish the worst for you."

Additional human remains from a 1985 police bombing on the headquarters of a Black liberation group in Philadelphia have been found at the University of Pennsylvania. The remains are believed to be those of 12-year-old Delisha Africa, one of five children and six adults killed when police bombed the MOVE organization's headquarters, causing a fire that spread to dozens of row homes. The remains were discovered during a comprehensive inventory that the Penn Museum conducted to prepare thousands of artifacts, some dating back more than a century, to be moved into upgraded storage facilities.
