Jacksonville, FL. Wise Choice Properties is pleased to announce that they have donated two roofs to the Beaches Habitat for Humanity project at Haywood Estates off of Mayport Road in Atlantic Beach, FL. The roofs are for the properties at 2569 and 2570 Haywood Estates Lane.
The company was pleased to have an exceptionally good year in such a poor economy and wanted to give back to the community. Habitat for Humanity was the perfect choice because it fit in with the company's core mission of creating beautiful, but affordable housing, and in improving the communities they are in.
Habitat for Humanity provides homes for lower income families who would not otherwise be able to afford a home of their own. In return, the homeowner provides a certain level of “sweat equity” up front, and pays a small monthly mortgage after they move in.
“We were attracted to the Habitat model because it requires homeowner involvement and commitment,”
Beaches Habitat Development Director Mary Anne Christensen applauds Wise Choice Properties and says, “Beaches Habitat is extremely grateful for the generous donation from Wise Choice Properties. We deeply appreciate their support and commitment in Building Homes, Building Communities and Building Futures!”
