HABITAT FOR HUMANITY HOLDS SITE BLESSING FOR 13TH & 14TH WASHINGTON CO. HOMES

  

Two Brenham families’ dreams of home ownership are one step closer to reality.

Representatives and volunteers from Habitat for Humanity joined the families of Brittanie Bellard and Lisa Crawford on Saturday for a site blessing at their homes under construction on Cottonwood Street and Hosea Street.  Once work on the homes is completed over the next several months, the Bellards and Crawfords will become Habitat for Humanity’s 13^th and 14^th homeowners in Washington County.

Both mothers spoke on the positive impact Habitat for Humanity will have on their families’ living situations, with Crawford calling it “a divine gift for our family”.  Meanwhile, Bellard said, “My heart is so full of gratitude.”

The homes will both come with three bedrooms and two bathrooms for the mothers and each of their two children.

Bryan Best, board president for BCS Habitat for Humanity and head of the Washington County committee, thanked all of the donors, vendors, suppliers, contractors, volunteers and City of Brenham staff who have worked to get the project off the ground.

At the conclusion of the site blessing, visitors were invited to write prayers and words of encouragement on the framing of the house. 

Habitat for Humanity continues to look for lots to keep building starter homes in the community, offering a chance at low-cost home ownership to those who might not otherwise have the opportunity.  To learn more about Habitat for Humanity, visit https://habitatbcs.org.
