70 new Habitat homes planned in Dawson, Forsyth, Cherokee counties

Habitat for Humanity–North Central Georgia (HFH-NCG) plans to build 70 new homes in Forsyth, Dawson and Cherokee counties over the next three-to-five years, inspired by Pinewood Heights, a 14-lot Habitat for Humanity neighborhood in Gainesville, which now has six completed homes.

“Our expansion comes at a critical time.” said Steve Napier, HFH-NCG executive director. “Housing affordability is one of the most pressing challenges in our community today. Together, we have an incredible opportunity to make a lasting difference and create a brighter future for families in our community.”

The HFH-NCG campaign has a goal of raising nine million dollars over the next three years. When combined with funds from government grants and corporate, faith and civic partners, it will support infrastructure development, building costs and the construction of the 70 homes in three neighborhoods in three counties.
