We added a car in front of it to show the unification of many things into one. At its core. Kapuso at the upper yard is all of us, its community, its developers, its politicians, its allies of Affordable Housing coming together to form one heart. And we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Want to thank everyone for coming today. This is truly one of the most proud that ive ever been at Mission Housing and on behalf of us, to you, thank you for coming.
