Habitat for Humanity of West Virginia partners with Habitat for Humanity of Jackson County to build the 600^th Habitat house in West Virginia.

Throughout the state of West Virginia, Habitat for Humanity affiliates have been hammering out homes since 1987. Now, all of that hammering and all of the homes have added up to a significant milestone – the building of the 600^th Habitat home in the state.

“The 600^th home symbolizes Habitat for Humanity’s commitment to serving WV families in need of affordable housing” said Alvin Phillips, Board President  of the state support organization in West Virginia. “600 homes for 600 West Virginia families! This is a milestone worth celebrating!” said Phillips.

The 600^th house will be built in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Jackson County. “The Habitat affiliates throughout the state have accomplished so much in 20 years,” said Donna Dehart, Executive Director for Jackson County. “We are honored to be a symbol of their hard work by having the 600^th home built in our community.”

Habitat for Humanity of West Virginia and Habitat for Humanity of Jackson County finalized the partnership agreement in October with the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding. “We are excited to host this special celebration build and encourage everyone in the community to get involved”, said Ms. DeHart.
