On Sunday, October 11, 37 family members celebrated the completion of 12 Nashville Area Habitat homes, thanks to many generous sponsors and approximately 3,000 volunteers who helped build them. Nearly 40 churches and faith organizations participated in this build along with the Habitat HomeStores, local businesses, corporations, schools and universities. Nashville Area Habitat staff, board members, partner families and volunteers gathered for an opening program and then broke into groups for ribbon cutting ceremonies for each home. At that time, families received keys and framed copies of their mortgage agreements.
Nashville Area Habitat is actively seeking applications for our homeownership program.
Thousands of Nashville families and individuals currently live in substandard housing and could qualify for a Habitat home. Please help us get the message out to friends, co-workers, churches and other organizations.
Thank you for your help!
