Jesse W. and Ida Marie Rogero Childre Endowment for Affordable Housing

Jess and Ida Childre recognized the importance of affordable housing to the vast majority of the American people, and they sought to help provide assistance toward the continuing teaching and research into the subject. The Childres wanted to help people to be able to reach a “small piece of the American Dream.” Childre graduated from the UF School of Building Construction in 1950.
