It has also constructed and rehabilitated close to 100 single family homes.
Dixie has served as executive director of Jubilee Homes of Syracuse, Inc. since its inception. Through his tireless community development efforts, Jubilee has assisted in transforming the landscape of a community, once over run with abandoned and dilapidated buildings, into a thriving neighborhood. Additionally, Dixie is the founder of the Alliance Network, a multi-ethnic public issues advocacy group. The Alliance Network is committed to improving the quality of life in the Central New York Community, politically, socially, economically, educationally and spiritually.
