Habitat Burlington's First Veterans Build Set for Cinnaminson

Habitat for Humanity of Burlington County’s first Veterans Build will be in Cinnaminson.

The groundbreaking for a two bedroom, two family home specifically for veterans takes place on June 18, 10 a.m. The property will be built on a cleared lot on Inman Street.

“Burlington County is home to the largest Veteran population in the state – 36,000”, Lori Leonard, Executive Director of Burlington County Habitat, said. “ The Veterans Build program is an established, highly regarded program of Habitat for Humanity International. It just made sense for our affiliate to support our Veteran community by doing a Veterans Build. When the donation of land by Cinnaminson Township was proposed, we knew it would be a great community for this program. We are proud and excited to get this project underway.”

Habitat’s simple, decent, and affordable homes are sold to hardworking, income-qualified individuals and families through a 0 percent-interest mortgage, Leonard said.

Active military or retired individuals and families are eligible to apply for these two homes.

Habitat is currently seeking Veterans or Active Duty members who are interested homebuyers for their Affordable Homeownership Program.

Anyone interested in purchasing a home or in getting involved with Habitat’s Veterans Build should visit habitatbcnj.org or contact Ashley Griffiths at AshleyGriffiths@habitatbcnj.org.

Wells Fargo, ABC and the United Way are sponsoring the project.
