Mayor, City to dedicate Habitat for Humanity home for deserving family
What: Mayor Bart Peterson will host a Habitat for Humanity Dedication Ceremony. The ceremony will mark the conclusion of the month-long construction of the home of Nikita Byrd and her four children.
The City formed a partnership with the Indiana Union Construction Industry, the Indiana Pacers, Marion County Health & Hospital Corporation, Arsenal Tech High School, United Water, LP Products, and the Indianapolis Neighborhood Housing partnership, Clark Dietz, Hannum Wagle and Cline, RQAW, HOK and Ross and Baruzzini to sponsor and build the house.
Where: 1743 Rossevelt Avenue
When: Monday, November 20
9:30 a.m
Background: The dedication will celebrate the work of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Indianapolis. The local organization is committed to eliminating poverty housing and making home ownership available to low-income families, many of whom have children and live in unsafe, overcrowded or substandard conditions. Each qualified low-income family must meet Habitat’s income and credit history criteria, as well as agree to invest 250 work equity hours and assist with the building of their own home along with helping with other Habitat homes.
