WILMINGTON, Delaware (WPVI) -- Charly Bass-Davis was a laborer and restaurateur before taking on her latest ambition: becoming a housing developer. Now, she is on a mission to make the act of owning a home more affordable in her city. She started with the Jumpstart Wilmington program , which reinforces nine steps towards successful real estate development and also aids in the property acquisition process.

Now, she is the CEO of her own company, Steel Development. Bass-Davis is also aided by local contractors and funds from the The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program . When all these moving parts come together, the goal is for people in a middle-to-low income bracket to be able to access these luxurious homes at an affordable price.
