Habitat for Humanity to Dedicate New Home in Morrisville

The community is invited to join Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County to celebrate the dedication of a new, three-bedroom home at 30 Hillcrest Avenue in Morrisville, to Danielle on Tuesday, May 23, 2023, at 4:00 pm. Volunteers, friends, family, new neighbors, sponsors, and distinguished guests will unite in celebration of the completion of this affordable home.

Danielle, as a single mother of three, has always dreamed of being able to provide her family with a house of their own. Living in a cramped two-bedroom apartment left the family little room for studying or privacy, and the rent kept going up. Initially, Danielle reached out to Habitat in 2018. She never gave up hope and kept focused on her dream. Danielle invested her sweat equity and her time in Habitat financial workshops and her confidence grew. She is now ready to be a homeowner.

“We look forward to presenting the keys to Danielle! She has worked very hard to fulfill her dream of homeownership. Habitat Bucks has been honored to partner with Danielle on her journey,” said Florence Kawoczka, executive director, Habitat Bucks.

The lead sponsors, Bank of America, KeyBank, and Bucks County Foundation, have shown exceptional leadership as champions of affordable housing initiatives within the Morrisville community. Their commitment to the well-being and prosperity of families like Danielle's has been truly commendable. Through their generous financial support, they have helped make affordable homeownership a reality for Danielle and have set an example for others to follow.

Since breaking ground, over 233 individual volunteers, along with those from local businesses, faith groups, organizations, and schools, have contributed over 1,218 hours working with Habitat Bucks and the family to build this home.

After the dedication ceremony, the home will be open for the public to tour.
