Gloucester County Habitat for Humanity will celebrate its 58th Home Dedication ceremony in Clayton on Nov. 24, marking another milestone in the organization’s ongoing effort to expand affordable homeownership across the region.
The ceremony will take place at the newly constructed home located at 152 N. Green Street. The event is open to the public, welcoming neighbors, volunteers, community members, and prospective applicants interested in the nonprofit’s housing programs.
The new home was constructed through Gloucester County Habitat for Humanity’s Homeownership Program, which provides income-qualified families with the opportunity to build and purchase a home backed by an affordable mortgage.
Rather than receiving a traditional handout, partner families complete between 200 and 250 hours of “sweat equity.” These hours involve assisting with the construction of their own home, helping build homes for other families, and participating in financial literacy and homeowner education seminars.
