Allentown, PA I Thursday, March 8, 2018 – Leading affordable housing organization Habitat for Humanity invites you to the ground breaking ceremony of its new home construction project in the City of Bethlehem. The project will include the construction of two twin-style homes on the 400 block of Keystone Avenue in West Bethlehem, Lehigh County. The four new homes will provide safe and affordable shelter for hardworking, low income homeowners in the Lehigh Valley. Each Habitat homeowner partners with Habitat Lehigh Valley by completing a minimum of 250 sweat equity hours, per adult, into the construction of their or fellow Habitat homeowners’ homes. Additionally, each homeowner will pay back an affordable zero percent interest mortgage to Habitat Lehigh Valley. These new homes will provide the homebuyers with an opportunity to realize the dream of homeownership. Thank you to the current house sponsors for the project including the City of Bethlehem, Lehigh County, Thrivent Financial, Keystone Savings Foundation, and the Wells Fargo Housing Foundation.
When: March 8, 2018 at 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM (weather permitting)

About Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity is an international non-profit organization driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live. Habitat for Humanity of the Lehigh Valley (Habitat LV) is the local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, and has served the Lehigh Valley area since 1989. Since then, the organization has provided a hand up, not a hand out to 115 low-income, hard working families. Families and individuals in need of a hand up partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay back an affordable mortgage. Through financial support, volunteering, or adding a voice to support affordable housing, everyone can help families achieve the strength, stability, and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Through shelter, we empower. To learn more about the organization and find out how you can get involved, visit www.habitatlv.org and like us on Facebook@ Habitat Lehigh Valley.
