HBAL Completes 17th Habitat for Humanity Home for Single Mother

This summer, members of the Home Builders Association of Lincoln (HBAL; hbal.org) built a new home for Martha, a single mom raising eight children. This is the 17th home built by HBAL since 1992.

With such a large family, Martha works hard to provide for her children and is thankful for the Habitat program because she can buy her own home, which is safe for her family, at an affordable monthly mortgage rate. Martha is adamant about paying her own way and doing what is best for her children. She has worked for UNL Dining Services for the last seven years. HBAL members, volunteers, and representatives from Habitat for Humanity joined Martha and her family to celebrate the completion and officially dedicate the home on July 30. Committee chairmen for the Blitz Build were Jim Christo, Sam Swartz, and Ben Carey.

“Building our community” isn’t just a slogan for the Home Builders Association of Lincoln. Each year, HBAL and its members contribute time and money to a variety of community projects like Habitat for Humanity. They believe in doing their part to make Lincoln a stronger, safer community. Together they’re helping to build a better Lincoln! Learn more about HBAL online at hbal.org or contact (402) 423-4225.
