Walls have officially been raised for a new Habitat for Humanity home on Ruddy Creek Circle in Greer.
The new affordable home will be constructed in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County, Habitat for Humanity of Spartanburg and BMW Manufacturing. A wall-raising ceremony was held on Nov. 6 to celebrate the start of construction.
Max Metcalf, BMW’s manager of government and community relations, said the company is proud to continue its partnership with Habitat for Humanity to support the important work the agency does in the community.
“It’s an honor to work alongside the Habitat affiliates once again to not only build a house for a deserving family, but provide hope and opportunity to our community. Together, we are creating a better future for those who need it most,” Metcalf said.
The new affordable housing will be purchased by a participant of Habitat’s homeowner-preparation program. This program includes courses on personal finance, budgeting, mortgages and credit. The prospective homeowner also must be willing to complete a minimum of 200 hours of volunteer work with Habitat.
“Habitat offers an unparalleled opportunity to help families with low income attain homeownership,” said Monroe Free, CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County.
