Volunteer Effort a Success!
 CitiScape was given a great opportunity to give back to the community working with the Rebuilding Together Oakland Project. The mission of RTO is to rehabilitate homes for low-income senior and disabled citizens. In April, RTO repaired Dorothy's house. Dorothy opens her home to women and children in domestic abuse situations, providing a temporary safe home while they figure out where to go next. "Saturday at Dorothy's house was a success. Allison and I were part of the fence building team, and wow, who knew I could actually build a fence!?! Not just nailing the boards, but setting the posts and even using a jack hammer," said CitiScape Property Manager and RTO Volunteer Organizer, Monier Ziaian. A BIG thanks to all CitiScape volunteers. CitiScape vendors Rockwell Group and United California Glass & Door donated paint and windows, thank you!
