Habitat for Humanity Towns/Union Counties Hosts Orientation Meeting

The local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity is pleased to announce it will be hosting an orientation
meeting to begin the process of selecting a partner family to purchase the next Habitat home, which will be built in Union County.
The first step in the search is to make sure everyone who might qualify for a home is aware of the
opportunity.

An orientation meeting for interested families will be held on Saturday, February 9, 2019 at 10:30 a.m. at the Mountain Regional Library located in Young Harris. The library is located at 698 Miller Street, at the corner of Highway 76 and Miller Street, across the street from the Young Harris College tennis courts.

For further directions, call the library at 706.379.3732. If there is inclement weather, the meeting will be on February 16, 2019 at the library.

The meeting is free and will last approximately two hours. No children at the meeting please.
In the orientation meeting, interested families will view a presentation about Habitat and learn about the requirements for becoming a Habitat homeowner.

Applications, along with a listing of required documents, will be distributed during the meeting.
Volunteers and partner families build Habitat houses along with contractors, often using donated
supplies. Habitat then sells the homes to the partner family.

To qualify for a Habitat house a family must demonstrate three things: a need for better housing, have the ability to pay, and a willingness to partner with Habitat.
For additional information contact Habitat –706.379.2484.
