Habitat for Humanity home dedicated in Golf Manor

by Jane Doe

A new Habitat for Humanity home is bringing one woman’s dream closer to reality.

The home on Hammel Avenue was dedicated to a woman and her son in the Village of Golf Manor Thursday.

“We have a wonderful new family, [the] house is back to productive use, it’s a win-win,” Golf Manor Mayor Alan Zaffiro said.

According to Habitat for Humanity, this home is in the process of being rehabbed and the owner will have to put in nearly 250 hours of “sweat equity.”

The organization said it saved the home from foreclosure by obtaining it through a federal grant.

Habitat for Humanity has been buying and rehabbing homes for low income families in Greater Cincinnati for close to three decades.

A second Golf Manor home on Bremont Avenue will be dedicated to another family on 11 a.m. on July 23.
