The City of Lawrenceville and the Gwinnett County Habitat for Humanity are partnering to build four houses in Lawrenceville next year.
On Dec. 14 the City Council voted to approve an agreement allowing the project to begin in the first quarter of 2023.
City employee volunteers will participate in two of the builds by working in 15-member shifts on weekends.
“The City Council and I are delighted to partner with Habitat for Humanity. This initiative supports affordable housing and unites our employees and community leaders in service to our fellow man,” said Mayor David Still.
The City of Lawrenceville will provide $100,000 to the project by using ARPA funding for construction.
Gwinnett Habitat for Humanity will sell the homes to individuals who meet the Habitat program's income requirements.
The homes will contain a heated space of at least fifteen hundred square feet, a two-car garage plus a working fireplace and chimney.
“The land provided by the city is perfect for our program and will benefit four hard-working families in our community,” Brent Bohanan, Executive Director of Gwinnett/Walton Habitat for Humanity said. “We are grateful for the city’s support and look forward to working together to change the futures of four families in 2023.”
Additional information regarding volunteering for the project will be shared at lawrencevillega.org as it becomes available.
