Editorial: Habitat for Humanity is building lives, communities in N.J. by building homes
Times of Trenton Editorial Board / February 18, 2014
The Habitat for Humanity of Trenton is doing its part to help families come in from the cold with development of a “sevenplex build,” a row of seven houses on the 500 block of North Clinton Avenue in Trenton.
The Trenton effort continues a mission that’s resulted in the construction, rehabilitation or repair of 800,000 homes around the world, a milestone reached late last year in Atlanta.
Fittingly, that milestone house rose in the home state of the humble and hardworking Jimmy Carter who has dedicated his post-presidential years to making the world a better place.
Officials estimate that with an average of five people per Habitat home, the Atlanta house represents an estimated 4 million people who have improved their living conditions through Habitat’s housing solutions in more than 70 countries over nearly 40 years.
