Habitat for Humanity International has selected Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas and West Pasco Counties to expand its service area to include Hernando County.
“Given our organizational growth, coupled with the investment in our professional dedicated staff, we feel we have a great opportunity to better serve the families and individuals of Hernando County,” said Mike Sutton, president and chief executive officer. “Our organization is positioned to bring affordable homeownership resources to fill the gap in service that the Hernando community is currently experiencing, with no active Habitat for Humanity presence currently available.”
The Pinellas County-based organization has been recognized as one of the top three producing affiliates, based on its new home construction completions, out of the affiliate network of 1,100. This summer, they will dedicate their 900th home build in the Pinellas and West Pasco region.
Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas and West Pasco Counties is currently under contract for five acres, which will provide affordable homeownership opportunities to 24 families in Spring Hill. Plans for the development of 24 single-family homes will be released soon.
The affiliate will release a new name and brand in the coming weeks.
