Essex County Habitat for Humanity is getting help paying for construction of a new duplex in Haverhill’s Mount Washington neighborhood from the Pentucket Bank Charitable Foundation.
Pentucket Bank donated $5,000 to the Curtis Street duplex which will provide permanently affordable homeownership. The new homes, each with a three-bedroom unit, will sup[port families secured through Habitat’s home lottery.
“Habitat for Humanity plays a vital role in addressing our affordable housing shortage,” said Pentucket Bank President and CEO Steve Jaskelevicus. He added, “Through its innovative approach, Habitat works with low-income families, volunteers and others in our community to create a lasting impact on individuals and neighborhoods.”
Habitat for Humanity works to help build and improve homes for families of low-income or disadvantaged backgrounds. Homes are built using volunteer labor, including that of Habitat homeowners through the practice of sweat equity, as well as paid contractors for certain construction or infrastructure activities as needed. Habitat makes no profit from the sales.
