Non-Profit Seeks Families to Purchase Habitat Homes in South End
As Capital District Habitat for Humanity winds down its efforts in the North Albany neighborhood of Broadway and Emmet Street, it has set its sights on the South End for the next major revitalization project.
Through a partnership begun in 2003 with the City and County of Albany with the donation of buildable lots, Habitat has built 13 affordable homes in North Albany for low income families. Three more are currently under construction and a fourth is being planned before Habitat fully shifts its resources to the South End. Habitat was able to leverage the donated parcels into sponsorship dollars, large volumes of volunteer labor, and innumerable in-kind gifts of service and materials to build the homes so that 18 families who would otherwise not have been able to afford a home are paying taxes on these vacated parcels while thriving in a neighborhood revitalized by the capital district community’s efforts.
