Milford, DE – Sussex County Habitat for Humanity (SCHFH) celebrated another milestone on Tuesday morning, dedicating the fifth house in the Milford Homeownership Project – a neighborhood revitalization initiative that will feature nine affordable homes.
The dedication ceremony brought together volunteers, donors, community partners, and supporters to recognize the partnership that made the home possible. Habitat homeowners complete financial education courses, contribute sweat equity hours, and purchase their homes with an affordable mortgage, demonstrating the organization’s commitment to providing a hand up, not a handout.
“This home represents more than just a building – it represents stability, opportunity, and a stronger future for an incredible family,” said Kevin Gilmore CEO of Sussex County Habitat for Humanity. “We are grateful to the volunteers and supporters who continue to help make affordable homeownership possible for families in our community.”
The Milford Homeownership Project is the third neighborhood revitalization initiative Sussex County Habitat for Humanity has overseen in the last five years. The final four homes are expected to be built and sold before the end of the summer.
