Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas and West Pasco Counties hosted a volunteer build day for local, elected officials.
Twenty-five elected officials, from across the county, volunteered at Habitat Pinellas and West Pasco 800th home build, at 2790 53rd Ave N, St. Petersburg.
The build day was followed by an affordable housing discussion. Topics included policy solutions and funding approaches to the affordable housing continuum.
