Habitat for Humanity targets Boynton Beach with New Program
Many families in the communities in which Habitat for Humanity has built in Boynton Beach, struggle day-to-day to maintain their household, let alone the house itself and surrounding property. Build a Home – Build a Neighborhood (BHBN) is a new exterior “green” home preservation program has started this year that provides painting, landscaping and minor repair services for homeowners in need. While Habitat for Humanitiy is building ten new homes in the Heart of Boynton area, BHBN will help low-income neighbors impacted by age, disability and family circumstances, who struggle to maintain the exterior of their homes, reclaim their homes with pride and dignity. BHBN will provide a 350-foot “halo-effect” in these neighborhoods. BHBN will serve as a companion to Habitat for Humanitiy’s core building program, enabling them to serve more families, increase opportunities for volunteers and hopefully expand their base of sponsors. The picture below depicts constructed Habitat for Humanity homes in black and “to be constructed” Habitat for Humanity homes in blue/green. The Community Foundation of Palm Beach and Martin Counties has graciously funded the hiring of a new Volunteer Coordinator, who will be leading this endeavor!
