Build #72-73: completed 2015 – first “Women Build” days
Type:

  • Duplex
  • Rehab
  • 2 bedrooms in 1 unit & 1 bedroom in 1 unit

The anonymous donor of our previous project at 27 Hazel Street made a second generous gift of this building next door. Yellow siding was used on the renovated duplex in honor of the full-house sponsorship of Weichert, Realtors, a company known for the yellow signs in front of its houses for sale. Many enthusiastic women participated in our first Women Build days in May 2015. Seven volunteers aged 19 – 22 from AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps) worked here 2 days a week for 6 weeks in the fall of 2015. Over 2,700 volunteers spent 20,000 hours working on this home.
