The group met last night with a largely receptive crowd in Villa Heights.
That's where Habitat plans to put three new houses.
Habitat scheduled the meeting to answer any concerns from people who live in the neighborhood.
Most seemed willing to welcome the Habitat homes.
Their only concern is the site -- at Massachusetts and Aspen streets...
Where some neighbors say building more homes could aggravate an already bad flooding problem.

Meanwhile, there have been some developments in the West View Terrace controversy.
That's where Habitat planned to build 32-houses...
Until people who live nearby protested, saying the homes would bring down property values across the entire neighborhood.
At a press conference later this morning, the city will announce a deal to buy the land from Habitat.
