2012 Site Selected

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

Habitat has selected the site for the 2012 Build for Neighbors South Coalition. A home damaged by fire was torn down on Wednesday, November 23, at 2460 S 19th St. A new home will be built in the summer of 2012 at this site. Plan now to help Neighbors South build a new home for a family in South Omaha.

The 2011 Neighbors South Habitat build is underway. This is the thirteen house this coalition has built. Sixteen volunteers came out for the first day. Here is what it looked like as the day ended.

The second day is well underway with 25 volunteers hard at work. At mid-day, here is the progress.

The work continues each weekend (except July 4th) and we’d love to share in the fun. Come on out!!

The Neighbors South Coalition is in full swing ready to build its thirteen home. Progress is well underway on the build site. As you can see, the lot is a nice level lot which will facilitate our successful build.
The foundation and basement walls are in place.
We begin work on Friday, June 10. We work every weekend, Friday and Saturday, except the July 4th weekend. We plan to have the house completed by the end of August. Come out, share your talents. We are blessed to work together.

Amazing Effort

The 12th Neighbors South Build began under the threat of rain. However, never to be deterred, the volunteers not only set all the walls but set all of the rafters, too. What a great start to a great build.
