Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity Home Dedications
Join Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity for the first two home dedications of 2011 on Monday, February 28 starting at 4:30pm.
Habitat for Humanity has partnered with Waterloo’s Community Development Office to secure funding from the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) which allows community partners to purchase foreclosed properties and revitalize neighborhoods. The home at 422 Bertch Avenue in Waterloo is the third rehabbed home in Waterloo funded by NSP. This improved property will be a simple, decent and affordable home for Ivonne Troche and her family who were approved for the Habitat program in late 2009. Help Ivonne and Habitat celebrate the completion of this home by attending the home dedication at 4:30pm.
The fourth NSP funded home to be completed is located at 1333 Leavitt Street in Waterloo and will be purchased by Andrea Magee and her family. The previous home was badly damaged in a fire and demolished in August, 2010 laying the groundwork for a new Habitat home. For over a year, the home sat vacant with trees and bushes overtaking the property. With the help of Habitat, NSP and many volunteers, this new home has truly improved the neighborhood. Help Andrea and Habitat celebrate the completion of this home by attending the home dedication at 5:30pm.

My mother owned the original home at 1333 Leavitt St. and I grew up there. I'm very happy about the new house and remodeled garage that will be lived in and enjoyed by a new family. I visit Waterloo on occasion and drive by the property. Best wishes to the family and the neighborhood.
