Saving Etting Street

Saving Etting Street follows carpenter Shelley Halstead as she trains a group of three young, Black women in construction skills by rehabbing vacant and abandoned houses in West Baltimore, challenging generations of racism and sexism in housing.

The mission is to transform a distressed block on Etting Street into a community of Black women homeowners, and helping build generational wealth and stability in a neighborhood plagued by poverty, crime, and neglect. When tensions arise within this diverse group of young women that she's teaching to build and a suspicious fire destroys one of her buildings, Shelley is forced to rethink her vision of community.
