CLARKSVILLE, Tenn (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County will dedicate its 98th Clarksville-area home at 3630 Chapel Hill Rd. in Southside on Sunday, August 11 at 3:00 p.m.
Tonya Harris applied for a Habitat for Humanity home in March of 2017. Since then, she has successfully completed 250 hours of ‘sweat equity,’ which included work on her home and class time on finances, home maintenance and other issues related to home ownership.
Habitat participants like Tonya buy their home at cost and pay for it through an interest-free mortgage.
“Tonya entered the Habitat program because she wanted a safe, secure home to raise her family, and through hard work and dedication, she earned one,” said Habitat Executive Director Rob Selkow. “We’re proud to have Tonya and her daughter Haley in the Habitat family.”
Habitat for Humanity, in partnership with qualifying Montgomery County families, has completed 98 houses since 1992, using donated funds, labor, and materials.
The Clarksville-based ministry is always seeking individuals, churches, and local companies for volunteer projects related to eliminating poverty housing in Montgomery County. For information, call (931) 645-4222 or visit www.habitatmctn.org.
