"It's exciting to launch our Community Development Initiative, the primary tool toward intentional engagement, providing communities with relevant assistance, educational and financial services to generate more homeownership opportunities," said Roundtree, an Austin Peay University criminal justice graduate who also served in the U.S. Army as an engineer.
