Through Shelter We Empower

Clay County Habitat for Humanity has teamed up with State Farm to help build a single-family home located on Hibiscus Avenue, Middleburg, Florida. The residence is a beautiful 4 bedroom, 2 bath single story that will be home to Samantha and her two children. State Farm generous support is paying for the air conditioning system in the home.

“Constructing affordable housing has become more expensive as time goes by” said Carolyn Edwards, Clay County Habitat’s Executive Director. “With skyrocketing costs for services and materials, it is increasing difficult to achieve this goal but, we will continue striving to help deserving families realize the American Dream.”

During Clay Habitat’s 46-year history, the organization has constructed 179 homes throughout Clay County, positively impacting more than 700 members of the community through their homeownership program. Clay County Habitat for Humanity’s goal has been to make a positive impact on the communities they serve.

“State Farm has been a great supporter of the Clay County Habitat for Humanity for more than 10 years” said Carolyn Edwards. “The State Farm grants are used towards the rehab and construction of housing for the low-income population that we serve.,”

“State Farm is proud of our relationship with Clay County Habitat for Humanity” said Jose Soto, State Farm Corporate Responsibility Analyst. “Habitat is helping families build homes to call their own”.
