Ground Broken on 2nd Home in New Hope Acres
L to R Rick Jasperse, Virginia Soulis, Steve Greenwell, Rob Jones
State Representative Rick Jasperse, home buyer Virginia Soulis. Habitat President Steve Greenwell and County Commission Chairman Rob Jones officially break ground for the second home to be built in New Hope Acres.
Virginia was selected as purchaser after applying and completing the necessary documentation so that she could be vetted along with the other applicants. All potential Habitat home buyers submit to having their credit history inspected, proving that they have the ability to pay and that their past payment history meets certain guidelines. In addition to making a down payment each adult home buyer and resident must also agree to performing 200 hours of sweat equity on their home or that of other Habitat home builds.
Construction should start shortly and hopefully be completed in 5-6 months weather permitting.

Workday Status
Will be built on the first lot on the left as you enter New Hope Acres and the property has already been cleared and graded. We are hoping to have the crawl space walls poured in the next couple of weeks. We will install the center beam and hopefully get the floor joists installed. Once that is done, we will be able to start scheduling our Volunteer Saturday Builds and getting the construction moving. I hope we can all get ourselves ready to start our next project.
A date for the first work day will be sent out soon. And I look forward to seeing and working with you all again.
