Just getting started!

Work has just begun on the house at 1303 John Street. This house is a partnership between us and the Frankfort Building Trades class. The class will be providing a good deal of the labor needed. We will let you know of any opportunities to help on this project in the near future. As a reminder, this house is being built for Rosa Martinez and her family. There is more information on Rosa in an earlier post on this blog. We have several projects going on at once right now. Any offers of volunteer help or donations would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Steve if you can help us out in any way. Thank you!

Work at 1300 John Street

Here are some pictures of work done this past Saturday on the house at 1300 John Street. Good progress is being made. Any of you that may have seen this house when we first took it back know just how far it has come in a short time. Please contact Steve if you are willing to help on this project. We are hoping to get this house in shape to put on the market. We need to make some profits to help reduce our debt. Thanks to all who have been helping or donating!

Possible donation to Habitat

Here are some pictures of the house at 252 West Paris Street that has been offered to us as a donation. While some of the pictures may look pretty bad, those of us that have looked at it agree that it is sound and solid, and could probably be renovated and sold at a good profit. Steve will meet with the fire inspector and building inspector to see if there may be any hidden problems. We'll keep you updated on what we find out.

New partner family!

Clinton County Habitat for Humanity would like to welcome Rosa Martinez and her children as our newest partner family! Rosa has 6 children, 5 of which will be living with her in the new home. Rosa has been employed at the Open Door Clinic and Humanitarian Community Services. She has had a couple of setbacks recently when she suffered two strokes at the end of June. Rosa is recovering, and is doing rehab in Indianapolis 3 times a week. Please join us in wishing her a speedy and complete recovery!

This house will be a partnership between us and the Frankfort Building Trades class. It will be at 1303 John Street in our subdivision. Ground has already been broken, and work has begun. Please consider making a donation to our organization. We have been working on several projects in the last couple of years, and we've had quite a bit more money going out than coming in. We need to dig ourselves out of a hole and get back in the black so we can continue to provide decent, affordable housing for the people of Clinton County. If you have any questions about this project, or any others that we're working on, please call Steve Mullen at 765-242-6877, or email him at sjmul@sbcglobal.net.
