DEDICATION FOR HOUSE #7!
On January 21, 2020, Mitchell Regional Habitat for Humanity celebrated one of our favorite events—a dedicationfor a new home! The event took place at 1212 South Kimball Street in Mitchell. Representatives from the Mitchell Chamber of Commerce, local businesses, and area residents attended the dedication.
Jean Hale was chosen as the next homeowner in 2018 after passing all qualification requirements. Jean is a Mitchell resident raising three granddaughters, ages 3 through 12.
Board member Kourtney Denne presented Jean with the keys to her new house, saying: “We want to thank the Hale family, as well as Jean’s friends and relatives. They have put in hundreds of hours and have been willing to do whatever has been necessary to build this home. We’d like to present you with the keys to your new home! We’re thrilled that you accepted the challenge and chose to partner with us."
New homeowner families meet strict income and credit requirements, complete 200+ hours of “sweat equity,” and repay a no-interest mortgage to Habitat.
Since 2001, Mitchell Habitat has built or repaired 25+ nearby homes in cooperation with volunteers, donors, businesses, and partner families.
