Passion for construction fostered through Habitat for Humanity
Friday was a big day for members of Habitat for Humanity.
First, they symbolically handed a plaque with a house key on it to the Mulge family. The family is now taking over a mortgage on the Habitat house they’ve been living in for the past year at 537 12th St. West.
The mortgages on Habitat homes are affordable and no-interest. According to Habitat’s website, “homeowners' monthly mortgage payments go into a revolving fund, which is used to build more homes.”
Following that ceremony, people dug shovels into fresh ground for Habitat’s next build at 1870 13th Street West.
