Habitat For Humanity Alliance
One Step Away For Local GrouD
SUSAN USHER
Brunswick County Habitat For
Humanity Inc. is just one step away
from affiliation with Habitat for
Humanity International.
Chairperson Doreen Alloway of
Shallotte said the local group will
meet Tuesday, Aug. 30, with
Southeastern Regional Director Gib
Edson to discuss the status of the ap
plication.
"Our application is in and it looks
good," she said. "I have all ideas
we'll be affiliated Sept. 1. After that
Aug. 30 meeting Edson will be able
to tell us if he is going to recom
mend us for affiliation."
Once the local unit becomes an
official affiliate, Brunswick County
Habitat can begin interviewing
prospective owners for its first
home, and planning construction of
that home.
"Where the family's from will de
cide where we will build the house,"
said Alloway. "We don't want to
pull a family from its support set
ting."
A Christian ecumenical ministry
that receives no government funds.
Habitat is the nation's largest non
profit builder. Habitat builds homes
which are sold at cost, with no-inter
est. no-profit mortgages, to low-in
come families who cannot obtain
decent housing through any other
means.
Monthly house payments go into
a revolving fund that help finance
the construction of additional
Habitat houses.
In addition, any family chosen to
become Habitat homeowners must
invest "sweat equity" alongside oth
er Habitat volunteers, helping to
build their own house and those of
others.
Habitat has immediate opportuni
ties for two volunteers. The group is
seeking a new secretary, who will
serve on the board of directors, keep
and maintain minutes of board and
executive committee meetings, send
out notices and maintain the group's
mailing list.
Also needed before Habitat be
gins its first construction project is a
construction volunteer coordinator
to orient and schedule those who of
fer to help with the project
A recent fund-raising project by
the South Brunswick Islands Board
of Realtors and South Brunswick
Islands Home Builders Association
netted approximately $35,000 in
cash, in-kind gifts and donation of
services toward the building of the
first Brunswick County Habitat
house. Volunteers who worked on
that project will be recognized at the
