South Shore Habitat for Humanity holds Groundbreaking Ceremony for Six-Unit project in Duxbury

NORWELL, Mass. - April 25, 2018 - PRLog -- South Shore Habitat for Humanity (http://sshabitat.org), which has delivered quality housing in partnership with families in need for the past 30 years, recently held a Groundbreaking Ceremony for a six-unit subdivision on Temple Street in Duxbury, MA.

South Shore Habitat for Humanity is working in partnership with the Town of Duxbury's Affordable Housing Trust (DAHT) on the Temple Street project, which is comprised of three duplexes. A new road named Feinberg Bog Road will allow access to the property which will sit on 2.91 acres that was formerly part of Camp Wing. The 2 bedroom townhomes will have approximately 1,200 square feet. Three of the townhomes will be low income homes and the other three will be moderate income homes. Applications are available through South Shore Habitat for Humanity, the Duxbury Library and the SS Habitat ReStore in Hanover or downloaded through the website. The deadline for applications is May 24^th, 2018.

Chairman of the Duxbury Board of Selectmen Theodore J. (Ted") Flynn, Duxbury Town Manager René Read, Duxbury Affordable Housing Trust Chair Diane Bartlett and Duxbury Affordable Housing Trustee Sheila Lynch-Bettina were all on hand for the groundbreaking.

The non-profit organization is also accepting in-kind service donations from those skilled in construction, driveway installation, septic, and roofing.

The Temple Street project is the second South Shore Habitat project being built in Duxbury.   Duxbury officials and South Shore Habitat for Humanity supporters broke ground on November 28 on a new single-family home at 66 Lake Shore Drive.  Residents, corporate partners and members of the faith community have been volunteering their time and resources to build this single-family home.

"This is a great partnership between our nonprofit and the Town of Duxbury and the town's Affordable Housing Trust," said Martine Taylor, Executive Director of South Shore Habitat for Humanity. "The project design makes a smart use of the land so that we are able to provide housing for six families. This is truly about Duxbury neighbors helping neighbors"
