On June 29th a deserving Hamilton family received the keys and took ownership of latest Habitat for Humanity Hamilton home which was constructed by Homes by DeSantis on a lot donated by the City of Hamilton. Located on Comet Avenue along the beach strip this is the 14th family that Habitat Hamilton has started on the journey of home ownership and a healthier future for their children.
While the actual costs involved in building a home are substantial, the lot is also a major factor in an overall project. A vacant property provided by the the City of Hamilton moved this new home project ahead. Paul Parker, Vice Chair of Habitat Hamilton recognized the leadership of both Mr. DeSantis and also city Councillor Chad Collins and stated that through the vision of these two the new homeowners and their five children are well on the way to a future that until today seemed to be a hope and a prayer. Michele Den Besten best summed up the day when she said, “From the bottom of our heart, thank you. You have made our children smile; you have given them a home, a future, a place to grow, to make memories, to become the people that they are meant to be.”
Habitat for Humanity Hamilton changes lives of families through the power of homeownership. Since 1991 Habitat Hamilton has changed the lives of 13 families, enabling dreams to become reality for the partner families and growing the health of the community of Hamilton
