PITTSFIELD, Mass. – The Central Berkshire Habitat for Humanity (CBHFH) will celebrate home dedications at 125 and 127 Madison Ave. with the new homeowners at 11 a.m. on July 30. 

 

Habitat will welcome new homeowners, Carolyn Parris and her son Loel, and Geneva Samuel and her son Syphear into their new homes. Celebrating along with our families will be volunteers and construction crew that have worked on the home over the past few years, CBHFH staff, donors, and neighbors who have all contributed to making this long-awaited dream of homeownership possible for these two families.

 

As part of Habitat’s Sweat Equity requirement for homeownership, both families have been working alongside the volunteers and construction crew. In fact, Syphear has been actively working on the construction team that has built these homes as part of his participation in the AmeriCorps program.

 

"We are especially grateful to the staff, volunteers, homeowners, sponsors, and donors that supported this project. We are moved by the time, talent, and contributions that made this project feasible. A joyous occasion after a long challenging period gives us resiliency for the next homes," says CBHFH CEO Carolyn Valli.
