Habitat For Humanity Ground Breaking Ceremony 2013

Jul 18, 2013

The Ground Breaking Ceremony for the 2013 Tichborne Build will take place on Friday, July 26 at 2 pm. The ceremony will be taking place at the empty building lot on the west side of Road 38, south of the railroad tracks in Tichborne. A reception at the North Frontenac Little Theatre building in

Tichborne will take place after the ceremony.

This will mark the third home to be built towards the ambitious goal of eight houses that the local affiliate plans to build over five years. “We are well on our way to reaching our goal of eight homes in five years, but we will need the community’s support”, says Ron Darling, Chair of Habitat Kingston’s Board of Directors. “We will be able to achieve this with the help of our build volunteers, generous donations from our donors and the support from local individuals and businesses.”

As construction begins, Habitat Kingston continues to enlist volunteers and solicit donations for the home that will occupy the site on Hwy 38 in Tichborne.

The Habitat Home Ownership Program is one way in which individuals and local businesses can help to solve the affordable housing problem in the Greater Kingston and Frontenac County communities.

Habitat Kingston has built homes in partnership with local families since 1995. The affiliate also owns and operates The ReStore (323 Bath Road, Kingston). The ReStore sells new and used building materials donated by individuals and businesses and its operations help to support the affiliate’s building program.

Habitat for Humanity Greater Kingston & Frontenac partners with families, businesses, organizations, and individuals to build simple, affordable, energy efficient homes. These homes are sold at fair market value to selected families through long term, no-interest mortgages. Families must demonstrate a need for improved housing, an ability to pay down a mortgage, and a willingness to contribute 500 hours of their own labour, known as  sweat equity”, to the building of their own house or the houses of others.
