Macomb County Habitat's sponsorship of Hurricane Katrina Rebuilding Efforts

January 24, 2007 by habitat comment

Hi Daniel,

Well all is still moving forward with the homes inHancock County. Most of my time has been spent working on different projects. Two of the main projects have been working on grants to reduce the principal cost of the home and applying for a grant for AmeriCorp workers for the next year.

Over the past month we have been tirelessly working on finishing the homes on

Union Street

. We also had a great group come down from a North Carolina affiliate and help on a 1 week Blitz. I'll attach pictures from the blitz. One of the big highlights over the past weekend was a visit by Jimmy Carter who came to your

Union Street

project and handed a homeowner her set of keys. We hope to have 2 more houses closed by the end of the year and several more the first part in January.

....Thanks to the generous grant from your affiliate, your donors are having a hand in rebuilding theGulf Coast. With Jackson spearheading the project in Hancock County and helping start an affiliate in that county I have been an asset to Cindy in helping keep her abreast in all the daily activities from her Jackson office. Thanks again for all that ya'll are doing.
