BIRMINGHAM, Ala. —

Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin announced new homes under construction in the Pratt City area, which was devastated by a deadly tornado in 2011.

It's a part of his administration's efforts to change housing in Birmingham.

"Today we stand on the ground that was left broken and barren and just as the street says, we see morning glory. New possibilities; new life," Woodfin said.
