Building Update

We are excited to announce that we have closed on the home for Family #53. We expect to close on homes for Family #54 and Family #55 by the end of the year. We are ready to begin building a home for Family #56 and are currently accepting applications for a new homeowner. More information can be found on our website.

The students are making great progress on their second house since partnering with us. The home that Lee County School students are working on will be a brick home. Special thanks to Lee Brick Company for supporting this project!
