Fayetteville Area Habitat for Humanity celebrated the start of construction at 621 Orange St. and 623 Orange St. this morning, May 15, with a groundbreaking ceremony. Lot 621 is being built for the Richardson family, and lot 623 is being built for the Hartsfield family.

“We're getting ready to pour the foundations for both of these homes and get these families into the home as quickly as possible,” shared Brandon Price, FAHFH CEO. “We follow policies and procedures, and we do what we're supposed to do on our end, and God does the rest.”

Attendees of the ceremony were invited to sign 2x4 panels that will be used in the construction of the homes, adding kind words and wishes to the foundations of these families' next chapters.

Construction is expected to take around six to seven months. Both lots will feature a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home.
