Continuing our celebration of Women in Construction Week, we want to recognize the incredible women who contribute to our mission! From board members to project managers, from site supervisors to AmeriCorps team members, these women are integral to our homebuilding process! Thank you Marquita, Ann, Becky, Erika, Melissa, Morgan, Jessie, and Mari for helping us build a world where everyone has a decent place to live! #womeninconstruction #habitatforhumanity

We are grateful for paternships like the Virginia Wine Expo that allow us to get involved with the community in different and fun ways! There are still a few volunteer opportunities available for the Grand Tasting next weekend: https://lnkd.in/g9mJJ8j7 https://lnkd.in/d4jH3BF4

We hit the jackpot with this group of volunteers from Virginia Lottery who helped with the framing at our home build site in Chesterfield!

Thank you ABC 8NEWS WRIC - Nexstar Media Group for sharing about how we will use a portion of the Affordable and Special Needs Housing funding to build more homes for local families! https://lnkd.in/eGsVctc9

“We are so grateful and blessed for this opportunity to become homeowners. I am especially thankful for all of the volunteers and workers who worked alongside us throughout the process and took the time to build a beautiful forever home for us. This is a dream come true.” - Patricia, our newest Habitat homeowner We were fortunate to celebrate with Patricia, David, and their six children at their Home Dedication earlier this week! When they started in the Homeownership program, the family lived in an overcrowded, three-bedroom apartment without a safe space outside where the children could play. While working through the program, the family moved to one of our Affordable Rentals where they could continue to save for their future. Now that their house is finished, they are excited to purchase it and have space for family gatherings and a backyard for their children! #HabitatforHumanity #Homeownership #AffordableHousing #RVA

It has been a busy and exciting week so far at Richmond Habitat and it’s only Wednesday! On Monday we officially welcomed our new CEO, Dave Neary! Get to know him a little better through the Q&A posted on our website: https://lnkd.in/eYummwVb

At Richmond Habitat, we have been fortunate to meet some generous people over our nearly 40 years in operation. Learn more about a few of those generous individuals – one who donated his home to Habitat more than a decade ago, and another who donated some of the proceeds from that home back to Habitat: https://lnkd.in/dwaV5bdi
