Montgomery Habitat for Humanity is excited to announce the groundbreaking ceremony for its Blitz Build Initiative, aimed at creating new and affordable homeownership opportunities for deserving families in Montgomery. The initiative will focus on constructing multiple homes concurrently, with a goal of addressing the local affordable housing crisis and providing long-term, sustainable solutions for families in need.
The first phase of the Blitz Build will see the construction of three homes, with plans to expand to seven homes in total, thanks to the continued support of the Montgomery County Commission and Vice Chairman Isaiah Sankey. The homes will be built in the New Hope Village area, a neighborhood designed to bring hope and stability to the community.
