Kathy Coyle and her family will be moving into a two-story, three-bedroom home built by Old Colony Habitat for Humanity on land donated by the Town of Seekonk. The town also contributed a significant donation of funds for building materials in an unprecedented partnership to provide affordable housing to citizens of Seekonk. Construction began in August of 2013 and has continued each Saturday through April 2014.

 

Kathy and her family members were required to contribute 250 hours of "sweat equity" (volunteer labor) on the house and will purchase it with a no-interest loan provided by Old Colony. She was joined by hundreds of volunteers from area towns under a team of Habitat construction leaders. These volunteers gave of their time each Saturday during all phases of construction of the house.

 

On Dedication Day, well-wishers will be able to see the home and share refreshments with members of Old Colony's Board of Directors, volunteers, our homeowner family, state and town officials, and supporters of the project. The actual Dedication ceremony will begin promptly at noon, so don't be late - come help the Coyles settle in their new home!
