It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Don Burrus, a founding board member of the St. Margaret of Scotland Housing Corporation (established in 1981), which preceded Tower Grove CDC. He was a 30 year board member and helped our organization leadership greatly. He always encouraged us and told us to "Keep Hustling.”
Don was instrumental in the early efforts to encourage banks to finance rehabilitation projects in the Shaw neighborhood and hold absentee owners accountable. A dedicated neighborhood leader and a mentor to countless young people in our community for decades, he will be greatly missed.
We also want to extend our sincere gratitude to all the volunteers of not for profit organizations who consistently prioritize our mission with their time and expertise.
