Building Hope Center in Dundalk a hub of support in bridge collapse aftermath

When the Key Bridge shattered a year ago, the lives of many people shattered with it -- of course, the families of the six men who died working on the bridge. But also people whose livelihoods depended on the bridge. In Dundalk, at the east end of the bridge, jobs disappeared or were impossible to reach. Businesses closed. Lives that were already stressed grew more stressed. Catholic Charities stepped up the work it was already doing on health and wellness, immigration services, and workforce development of … to create a one-stop shop for people to get help: The Building Hope Dundalk support Center. We talk with its program manager is Mayra Loera , who already was managing client services at the Esperanza Center and immediately after the bridge tragedy helped support the families of the men who died.
