On February 21, 1971, a tornado leveled the small town of Inverness in the Mississippi Delta, killing 21 people
and leaving hundred without homes. These homeless families were forced to live in temporary shelters. In response to
this problem the residents of Sunflower county formed the Delta Housing Development Corporation. Delta Housing
immediately began construction on a dozen houses for the storm victims.
