Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County will be hosting Lynn Riley, "Superwoman of the Sax," at Bucks County Community College in Newtown on March 27. The Jazz in Bloom concert will benefit Habitat's Youth United program and its goal to raise funds to build a home at the affiliate's current homebuilding site in Perkasie.
Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County recently broke ground at their newest green homebuilding site on Colonial Avenue in Bristol. Several local politicians and Habitat for Humanity staff posed for a ceremonial snapshot wearing hard hats and with shovels in hand.
“In its 20th year, Habitat for Humanity continues to help our neighbors rebuild their lives every day, and I’m proud to have been a part of the groundbreaking,” said Congressman Patrick Murphy.
Did you know that poverty and substandard housing, even here in Bucks County, disproportionately affect women and their children? Of the calls that Habitat Bucks receives inquiring about our homeownership program, more than 80% are made by women. Women Build is meant to provide a comfortable, non-threatening atmosphere in which women can develop construction skills, while creating the opportunity for more women to achieve homeownership.
If you are interested in getting involved with the Women Build, or if you have been involved in the past but would like to learn more, please consider joining us at an upcoming interest meeting...
