Modular Home is First for New Jersey Habitat for Humanity

habitat_for_humanity_snjtoday__credit__woodbury_new_jerseyFor the past 12 years the Gloucester County Habitat for Humanity has spent $2 million acquiring property and rehabbing and building homes, but for the first time they are building a modular home for a family of four in Woodbury, New Jersey. This is the second Habitat home in Woodbury this year, according to snjtoday.

When a Habitat family applies for a home, they are required to put in 350 hours of sweat equity for the opportunity to purchase a home with no additional interest.

This is our first venture into modular homes,” said Anthony Isabella, Executive Director of Gloucester County Habitat for Humanity. “We work with volunteers 15 hours a week. Generally it takes us eight to 12 months to build a home. With this, we could actually have a finished home for a partner family in Gloucester County in three months, which is awesome.

The new home was set on its foundation Nov. 24, but the home will not be occupant-ready until after the first of the year because of the holidays.

The investment has been a lot of time and money, but truly, the most important thing is that we’re investing in people,” said Heather Simmons, (D) Gloucester County Freeholder. (Freeholders in NJ are county legislators.)

Kim Dorsett, new homeowner, said,It’s really exciting, it feels like the next step closer, and it’s interesting to see how they’re doing it. It’s a fun and different experience because a lot of people who purchase homes the conventional way don’t usually get to see this.##
